#WeWriWa ~ The Case of the Wedding Wrecker: Bad Luck

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors, where writers share snippets from their work-in-progress or new release. 

I'm sharing snippets from the 4th Alex O'Hara cozy mystery, The Case of the Wedding Wrecker. This snippet picks up where we left off last week.

Hans, the lawyer, is with Alex, her dad, and Nick's parents at the police station. The last sentence was her dad saying he was always proud of her.

BTW, since this is a work in progress, suggestions are always welcome.

Snippet:  

Pop’s words brought a little sunshine into my miserable thoughts.

“According to the wife that wasn’t their only altercation,” Hans went on. “She said Nick and Amerson got into a shouting match at the gas station the day before yesterday.”

“I don’t know about that,” I said. “Hang on. Nick doesn’t get into shouting matches with anyone.”

Hans shrugged. “When Amerson didn’t come home after work last night, she called his friends, looking for him. He still hadn’t come home this morning.”

 

And a little more: 

Hans continued. “That’s when she called the police. Deputy Dawson responded. A witness saw Nick running away from a deserted cottage early this morning. When Dawson checked, he found Amerson. Dead.”

“What time was that?” I asked. “Nick was with me most of the night.”

Maria swiveled my way. With her lips pursed, she eyed me. “I told you and Nick not to see each other before the wedding. It’s bad luck. See? Bad luck.”
