Sandy dozed intermittently with her head on Jon’s shoulder as they headed west on IH10. She thought about the changes that had just occurred in her life: her father’s death, quitting her teaching job in New Orleans, and packing all her belongings into the moving truck she was riding in. Her mind raced to the changes that were to come: her marriage to Jon, moving to the town of Richmond, Texas, and the effect that the community would have on her—and she would have on the community. She could not have foreseen the arrest of Jon’s partner for murder, the teenage marijuana ring, or the complete perversion of justice about to take place.

My review: Jon and Sandy are good characters who find themselves dealing with the problems and mysteries of life. Thank you for a good read.

Excerpt

“And why doesn’t he want to handle divorces? It’s not like he has to do the investigation?” Daphne asked. I’m still not getting all of it, she thought. “I know he does pre-nups. He did one for someone last week, and I’m billing for it today.”

       “Two things. Don’t send out the bill for the pre-nup for another week or two. Doesn’t seem exactly polite to go sticking your hand out right away. And if that old coot actually does marry little miss smiley tight britches . . .”

       Daphne laughed at the description. Maureen certainly remembered the couple correctly. And she had been as nice as anything when they were in the office.

       “If they have the lack of taste to send Jon an invitation to the wedding, we send them a fifty dollar gift certificate to Yastremski’s Meat Market in East Bernard and sign the card Jon Miller, Esq.”

       “The meat market? For all the wedding invitations Jon gets?” Daphne asked with a shocked expression on her face.

       “Lord, no. Just the ones where he does the pre-nup. It’s his little joke,” Maureen explained with a grin.

       “Back to the pre-nups and divorces, which of course go hand in hand. If the couple divorces, at least one or maybe both, will continue to reside in Richmond,” Maureen continued, “and Jon, of course, wants both of their business.”  Daphne laughed as the light finally came on.

       “Yes, indeed. And no one remembers their divorce lawyer positively.”

       “I sure don’t!  He took my money, didn’t get me enough money from that lazy bastard ex of mine, and took his own sweet time doing it,” Daphne said with feeling as her voice broke.

       The older woman looked at her and asked, “It’s been about a year since you started proceedings?”

       “It’s been a year and one month since I threw his lazy cheating ass out of my house. How did you know?”

       “These things seem to go in stages, and you are at about the one year mark, give or take a couple of months.”

       Maybe this woman does know something. I’m gonna try to keep an open mind and listen and learn, Daphne told herself silently.
