Pinewood Corner Kitchen Chapter 3

“That was disappointing,” Gabriella said as they drove up the highway back toward Leominster. “I get it though,” Graham said. “They’ve built this empire and if their secrets got out, other people could either use them to build themselves up or destroy them.” She thought that was a bit dramatic for a cooking blog, but […]

Pinewood Corner Kitchen Chapter 2

Gabriella spent another hour or so at headquarters before she and Graham headed out. There wasn’t much to prepare for the case. They’d be interviewing the owners of Pinewood Corner Kitchen, which described itself as an “elite home for upscale home cooking that is nourishing, exciting, and just delicious to eat.” As tempted as she […]

Lunch was at least one interview trip away, but Gabriella’s stomach was growling as she listened to Madelyn and Graham talk about the cooking class they went to last night.  “They swapped in microgreens for the iceberg lettuce,” Madelyn said, fiddling with the head of her cane as she reminisced. “And I don’t remember the […]

Auntie Jules ended up getting James’s parents at the airport and setting them up at her house. James knew his and Graham’s place wasn’t a good setup for guests and he’d been about to offer to pay for a hotel when Auntie Jules called to not so much ask him as tell him that he […]

Belinda hadn’t been thrilled with the idea that they weren’t eradicating the shadows when Graham brought her the solution, but James could understand. After months of having this thing floating around, […]

James knew he had made the right decision coming to Auntie Jules’s birthday party, but that didn’t make it any less overwhelming. He’d gone in with his gift, accepted a huge hug, then others as various family members gathered around to say hi, lied about his non-existent back pain getting better, and dodged a few […]

They walked out of the building, but James paused before he got to the car. “Hey, I’m going to take a walk,” he said. Bradley looked concerned, his eyes darting toward the lake. “No, I’m fine,” James said. “I just want to take a quick walk. I can get back to headquarters, you don’t have […]

Lancaster Green Chapter 15

When James got back to work the next day, Graham was the first person he saw. “I might have a solution for your Lancaster Green ghost,” he said. “Have you ever heard of Lyndon Shadows?” James thought for a second as he draped his jacket over the back of the chair. “That sounds vaguely familiar,” […]

Lancaster Green Chapter 14

While James would admit that yes, he definitely needed a little more time off, the worst part of it was that the timing of this impromptu leave meant he was no longer working the overnight shift during Madelyn and Graham’s date that night. As much as both of them insisted it was fine, it was […]
