Exclusive Excerpt from Trifles and Folly 3: Keepsakes
“What a wonderful illusion! Tell me, how did you make it look so real?”
I glanced up from where I was filling champagne flutes as quickly as possible and blew an errant strand of strawberry-blonde hair out of my eyes. “I’m sorry. What did you say?”
The woman in front of me was totally channeling the look of a perfect Hitchcock heroine: beautiful in an icy sort of way. Her not-a-hair-out-of-place chignon set off diamond earrings that each probably cost as much as my car, and her understated but obviously designer cocktail dress suggested old money. A donor, then. “The ghost of the sea captain on the stairs. You must tell me who does your special effects. I didn’t know the Archive had those kind of connections!”
“I’ll have to look that up,” I said, trying not to look as freaked out as I felt. I glanced up at the massive, cantilevered staircase that was a key architectural feature of the restored historic home, but saw no one. “Um, what did you see?” I asked and then realized she probably expected me to know the inside scoop. “I mean, there are several different vignettes—which one did you see?”
Ice queen took one of the flutes and patted her perfect updo. “Oh,” she gushed, “you mean the show changes throughout the evening? How utterly marvelous!” She leaned over to whisper to me. “I hope the tech work was donated and didn’t come out of gala proceeds.”
That, I could answer truthfully. “I can promise you that no Archive money was spent on those effects.”
Museums and historic homes could prevent a lot of nasty hauntings if they’d skip the original furnishings and family heirlooms and settle for classy reproductions.
I scanned the room for Teag Logan, my best friend and partner in crime. For tonight, he put aside his usual scruffy grad student look and traded up to an elegant tux as one of the event docents taking tours through the newly restored historic home.
