.Nothing's toodreadful for a psychopath.No, Nikki, we'll never make sense of it.It was either a tragic accident or theydecided to end their lives together.This family is cursed.""I don't accept that.""I do," Siggy muttered, looking utterly convinced."Then we better start fighting our way out of it.Justice has to be done."Siggy leaned her hands on the table."Even in the event you find some member of your family is amurderer? Come off it, girl!""Are you saying you'd let them go free?"Siggy stiffened."My overriding concern is for family.You're opening up not a whole can of worms, butvenomous snakes.It's safer to put it all behind us."Nicole, too, rose to her feet."I don't like your moral reasoning, Siggy.Murder is murder.You might beable to allow a murderer to go free, but I can't.It's a little problem I have.""Sorry, you're stuck with it," Siggy said brutally."I can promise you your grandfather left no stoneunturned.He had people all over checking.""Maybe they were looking in the wrong place."Nicole gazed hard at her aunt."You sound frightened, Siggy.""Does that surprise you?" Siggy's tone was as sharp as a whiplash.It didn't faze Nicole."Someone murdered my mother and David McClelland," she responded in a lowgrave voice."You've got to help me find out who."Siggy reached out to touch her niece's shoulder."As long as you don't intend to start on me," she saidwith black humor."The authorities are the right people to catch criminals, Nikki.""I know." Nicole nodded."The only trouble is, the authorities believe the case is closed.""And it will stay closed until you have something new to offer.Which you don't." Her movements oddlystiff, Siggy walked to the door, bringing the conversation to a halt.Later in the dayNicole received a call from Shelley Logan telling her the maid of honor she had chosenfor her wedding, Jody Mitchell-Nicole knew her slightly-had had a bad fall in a three-day crosscountryevent, breaking her leg and collarbone.Would Nicole, Shelley wondered, consider taking over the role?Nicole, although sorry for Jody's bad luck, was delighted to accept-but expressed concern about thebridesmaid's dress.As far as she could recall, Jody was rather short, with an entirely different sort offigure from her own."The color will suit you beautifully," Shelley said."Lilac satin, but we'll have to start from scratch withyour gown.You're taller and a lot more willowy than Jody who's sturdily built.If you'll e-mail me yourprecise measurements, I'll give them to my dress maker.The gown is strapless, the bodice tapering to adeep V.It has a fitted waist and long billowing skirt.''"But your dressmaker won't have much time."

Louise smiled at her."You'll look so beautiful!""Just remember not to look more beautiful than the bride," Siggy warned in her customary wry tone.Nicole found Heath dozing in a comfortable chair in the garden overlooking the sequined stretch of theMinareechi and the focal point of the homestead's gardens, the waterfall.Her grandfather's design, it hadbeen constructed at the narrow end of the stream using the most striking boulders he could find onstation land.Most she knew had come from Shadow Valley.It had been a huge job, requiring anirrigation system, but the result was their own private oasis, one of calm, peace and tranquillity.Easy tosee why this was one of Heath's favorite spots.Balm for his tormented spirit [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
