The Vampire Affair
By Livia Reasoner

 

 

Huckleberry Finished Web.jpg (71225 bytes) Delilah is in charge of a tourist group taking a cruise on a Mississippi Riverboat that’s going to stop in Hannibal, Missouri, the town where Mark Twain was raised.  She doesn’t have any help on this trip since her daughter Melissa and son-in-law Luke are back in Atlanta taking care of the literary travel agency business while she’s gone.
            The cruise, which starts in St. Louis, is scheduled just to be a one-night trip, so Delilah isn’t anticipating any problems, but trouble inevitably crops up when one of the members of her tour turns up dead.  His neck is broken, and it’s definitely not an accident, which means the riverboat may be stuck in Hannibal for longer than planned.

KillerCrabCakes.jpg (271649 bytes) An early morning calm lay over the water.  The sun wasn’t quite up yet, but a half-circle of pink and orange glow was visible at the horizon, far out over the Gulf of Mexico, as Phyllis Newsom stepped out onto the porch of the old, three-story house that faced the sea.  Only rarely had she ever seen anything more beautiful, Phyllis thought as she raised a cup to her lips and took a sip of coffee.

            Nor was there anything more restful and peaceful than these moments just before sunrise.  She would never wish ill on anyone, but right now she was almost glad that there had been complications with the birth of her cousin Dorothy’s first grandchild.  If Dorothy and her husband hadn’t had to go up to Dallas to be with their daughter, they wouldn’t have asked Phyllis to come down here to Fulton, Texas, and look after their bed-and-breakfast for a while.

House.jpg (1107945 bytes)Welcome to our new home.  The house we'd had for 30 years burned down January 29th 2008 in a wildfire, and we moved into our new home December 2008.  We still have grass and trees to plant, but we're very happy with the new house.  So many people helped us after the fire.  We were very lucky.

If you are thinking about building a house in Azle Texas area, I would heartily recomend Larry and Karen Mackey of Prestige Builders. 

More pictures of the house can be seen on my blog.
