Excerpt

I rounded the corner to the health and beauty department when the phone rang again. “Hi, Aaron.”

Tessa, we have a case. Can you meet me in Winter Park in an hour?”

I stopped in the middle of the aisle and hung my head. “I’m at the store. What kind of case?”

Suicide from the sound of it. The deceased’s partner found him hanging from a tree in the backyard.” Aaron’s voice lacked its usual humor. He’d either had a late night or rough day, maybe both.

Sure. Text me the address. What’s the victim’s name?” I had no idea what I would do with the room full of people waiting for me at the house, but skipping out on dinner with Darlene made me happy.

Thanks, Tessa. You’re a doll. Partridge. The deceased’s name is Partridge.”

I glanced around to make sure no one was watching before I loaded two containers of Mae’s fiber mix into the cart. “What kind of tree was it?”

Orange tree, why?”

It was probably a sin to laugh at the dead, but I couldn’t help it. “We have a Partridge in an orange tree.”

Aaron groaned. “I’ll send the address. Try to hurry.”
