What Was on the Old Well?

Gray, lowering skies this morning. Everything is still, waiting. Waiting for what? April showers? Spring thunderstorms?

Another time, another place, Ned McNeil is waiting too. She’s waiting for deputy Gerald Mills to show up. You see, it is on a morning like this…well, not exactly like this, but it is April. However, the morning is much earlier; in fact, a full moon shines down on Granger’s Mansion. Ned glances out her window and notices something strange about the old well in her yard.

Now, that well has a history. It was here, on this very brick curbing around the well, that a murder happened, forty years ago. And now, a body is lying in that same spot. Who is it? Is Ned hallucinating?

Well, of course, Ned being Ned, has to investigate and what she finds sends a chill through her that comes from more than the cold April wind.

Did I mention the moon? Did I tell you it was full and bright? And did you surmise this could be the sequel to Moonlight Can Be Murder?

Peg, you want Ned to have a job, be gainfully employed in some nice occupation. Well, she has found her niche, decorating and refurbishing the historic houses of Ednalee and then selling them at a handsome profit. What fun to get inside the wonderful homes of the past and turn them into eye-catching beauties! I can’t wait to see them; can you?
