To Die Fur (A Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Mystery)
Page 30
I knew what he was going to ask, of course.
[If he didn’t ask, it would mean he was incompetent.]
Forrester looked up from his notes, and made eye contact with me. “What exactly was your relationship with the victim?”
“We weren’t close. In fact, we hadn’t known each other for very long.”
“But her brother works here?”
“Yes. I know him … quite a bit better.”
Forrester’s eyes softened. “How’s he holding up?”
“Ben’s sister is dead,” I said. “He’s not doing that well.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dixie Lyle loves animals, mysteries, books, reading, words, bad puns (are there any other kind?) and once had a torrid summer romance with an entire library. Did I mention the books? Oh, and definitely doesn’t believe in the supernatural. Nope, not me. Hey, what was that sound? Where’s that spooky green glow coming from? Oh, hello, didn’t see you standing there in the corner, what with you being all see-through and everything. Want a cup of tea? Moan once for yes, twice for no.
Allegations that Dixie Lyle has a goofy sense of humor are entirely unfounded, and should be forwarded to the unfounded and unlost department.
This is a work of fiction. All of the characters, organizations, and events portrayed in this novel are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
