“Quote taken from Chapter 1:
"The police should be in it, not us. We’re out of here.” Bill did an about-face to retrace their route to the door.
Piper whipped out a hand and snagged him by the shirttail. Her tone returned to crisp and decisive. “Slow down, Roadrunner. I’m not ready to leave. We’ve got work to do.”
Incredulous, he stared gape-mouthed at her. “You'd better explain,” he said.
She wiggled her nose. “I’m growing nosier by the second about the circumstances surrounding Anna’s murder.”

“Quote is taken from Chapter 1:
A decade ago when Isabel’s husband Max had died, they’d moved in together and merged their possessions. Neither sister brought any fussy teapots, canaries, sachets, or doilies, but lots of other stuff had to either stay or go. Looking at the lime green armchair gave Alma the willies. Her suggestion to slipcover it in a more subdued color had garnered Isabel’s frosty stare, and Alma had dropped the matter.”
