Witch WayTo Murder

An Ophelia & Abby Mystery: Book One

By Shirley Damsgaard

Prologue

Rising panic clenched my stomach. Clammy sweat made me itch underneath my arms.
The high heels of my boots beat a staccato rhythm on the empty sidewalk as I rushed to
the door. Why hadn't I just gone with him?

Once inside, I scanned the hazy bar. Dim light reflected on the men standing either alone
or in groups against the bar. "Dudes row," Brian had always called it. The perfect place
for the men to scope out women as they entered the room, and whenever a new woman
walked in their heads would turn, synchronized. At the tables around the edge of the
dance floor, I saw couples, their shoulders touching and their heads tilted toward each
other to hear over the loud music. Others milled around the room, looking for a place to
sit down.

I searched each face, looking for his, but all I saw were the faces of the Friday night
regulars. I pushed my way past them to the bar.
"Pat," I said as I gripped the edge of the bar. "Has Brian been here yet?"
From behind the counter, Pat leaned closer and cupped his hand around his ear to hear me
over the loud music and conversation. "What, Ophelia?"
"Brian—have you seen Brian? We were supposed to meet here, but I'm late."
"No, I haven't, but I could've missed him. We've been pretty busy. Ask Misty; she's been
waiting tables all night. Maybe she's seen him."
On the other side of the dance floor, a tall girl wearing a University of Iowa sweatshirt
waited tables. Misty. I bullied my way through the crowd to reach her.

"Misty," I said, grabbing her arm.

"Hey, watch it. I almost spilled this drink," she said, frowning.

"Sorry. I'm looking for Brian. Has he been here?"

"Nope, haven't seen him." Her eyes studied my face. "What's wrong? You look scared.
Has something happened?"

How could I explain? I felt the tears gather in my eyes as grief seized my heart and
squeezed. I'd failed—it was too late. I had to get out of there before I broke down.

I stumbled past the customers and into the street. Once in my car, I sat staring out the
windshield. A fine mist gathered on the glass and collected in large drops that trickled
slowly down in rivulets. The streetlight was like a spotlight on the dark puddles, turning
them an oily black. Shadows crept out of the reach of the light.

Tears slid down my face, but I didn't feel them. Visions of Brian as I had last seen him at
my apartment danced before my eyes—happy, smiling, excited. Had only a few hours
passed? It's not fair life can shift so quickly. If I shut my eyes, would I see him dead?
Would I see the blood, feel his pain, his terror? My fault, all my fault , bounced about in
my brain. I should've been able to stop his murder. But I couldn't.

And on that dreary November night four years ago, the first stone in the wall around my
heart clicked into place.

Chapter One

I felt someone watching me as I put the returned books away. My hackles stood up and
my skin tingled. I sighed and shook my head. My instincts told me it was Mr. Carroll,
one of our oldest patrons, all in a twist and waiting to pounce on me about our latest book
selections. He treated the library as his personal domain and me as his personal slave. He
was not one of my favorites.
Sighing again and plastering a smile on my face, I turned, only it wasn't Mr. Carroll's
bleary bloodshot eyes staring at me. My smile faded as I stared into the warmest pair of
brown eyes I'd ever seen. I felt a shock of awareness deep in my gut, even though I'd
never seen this man before.

He sure wasn't from Summerset. It was almost as if he'd taken a class, "Small Town 101:
What the Natives Wear," in order to try and fit in. His blue jeans were properly faded, his
leather bomber jacket had a lived-in look, and his work boots were fashionably scuffed.
But he'd failed the class. His clothes may have said "small town," but everything else in
his demeanor shouted "city." He had a sheen, a polish about him, that someone from
Small Town, USA, lacks.

I realized I was gaping and quickly looked away. When I glanced back, he was smiling.
Evidently, befuddling women, even a thirty-something librarian, was nothing new to him.
"Hi, my name is Richard Davis," he said, extending his hand. His voice was rich and
husky, with a faint accent like someone from Minnesota or Wisconsin , maybe.
One of the quirks I'd developed over the past four years was an aversion to touching
people, especially strangers, so rather than accept his hand, I bent to pick up an imaginary
paper clip on the floor. When I stood, his hand was no longer extended.
"The girl at the desk said I needed to talk to Ophelia Jensen. Are you Ophelia?" he
asked. When I nodded, his eyes widened in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

He laughed. "I'm sorry. You don't look like a librarian."

"Really?And what exactly is a librarian supposed to look like?"

"You know, older, hair in a bun, reading glasses on a chain, pencil stuck behind the ear."
He smiled, eyeing my clothes. "I've never met a librarian wearing blue jeans and a T-shirt
that says 'Tact is for people not witty enough to use sarcasm.' Or one with a namelike
Ophelia."

I looked down at my clothes. He was right. Not my normal librarian look. Mentally, I
pulled my tattered dignity around me and stood straighten "I work alone in my office on
Fridays." That wasn't any of his business. Why was I explaining? "But it seems the
Dewey decimal system is beyond my assistant's scope of understanding, so someone has
to put these books away."

His smile never slipped. "That explains the clothes, but what about your name?"

"Do you always ask this many questions, Mr. Davis?"

He shrugged. "What can I say? I'm a curious kind of a guy. So, how did you get the
name?"

"Persistent, too, aren't you?" I said, arching an eyebrow. "Okay, the truth is my mother is
a retired English professor, and she always had a thing for Shakespeare. Hamlet
happened to be her favorite. I have always felt very lucky I wasn't a boy."
"A retired professor? From what university?"
"University of Iowa."
"In Iowa City , right? Is that where you grew up?" he asked.

"Yes." I shifted and crossed my arms.

"How did you wind up in a small town like Summerset?" he asked.

Boy, did this guy ask a lot of questions.

"They needed a librarian and I needed a job." My eyes slid over to the clock hanging on
the wall above the bookshelves, and then back to Mr. Davis. "Now, what can I do to help
you?"
He noticed my clock-watching and smiled. "I'm sorry, I'm keeping you from your work,
aren't I? I need a library card and your assistant told me to talk to you."

"I'm sorry, but you're not from around here. We don't give cards to people who don't live
in Summerset or the surrounding area."

"I had hoped you would make an exception in my case. I'm a chemical salesman, I'll be
here for a couple of weeks, and I'll be bored stiff without some books to read. I promise
I'll bring them back." He changed the smile to a lopsided grin. Charm rolled off him in
waves.

I may have spent most of my life in a small town, but I'm not stupid. I can spot a load of
crap when I see one. He was lying. Where was the hat, the jacket, the pens, all with his
company's name plastered on them? Without calling him a liar, I couldn't get out of this
situation. I mumbled something about how arrangements could be made.

"Oh," he said, still in the charm mode. "I like to look at old newspapers. You know, read
what's happening in the community. It helps me get a feel for my customers. You
wouldn't have archives, would you?"

"We have our local paper, the Summerset Courier, on file. The archives are in the
basement. We also have access to the Des Moines Register on our computer."
"Wow, you have a computer."
"Yes, we do." I felt offended. I get so tired of "city" people treating us like a bunch of
hicks from Mayberry. "We're very progressive. We also have running water and indoor
plumbing."
Out came the lopsided grin again. "I sounded condescending, didn't I? I'm sorry."
I found myself smiling back. Whatever this Mr. Davis had, he should bottle it and forget
about the traveling salesman routine.
"That's okay. I tend to be too sensitive about the library. We've worked very hard to make
improvements." I pointed back to the counter. "If you go to the main desk, my assistant
will give you a library card and show you the archives."

"Great. It was nice meeting you, Ophelia Jensen." He paused, his gaze intent. "Thanks
for your help."

This time he didn't extend his hand. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his pants.
While he walked away, I wondered what it was he'd almost said. But then again, I stay
out of other people's business and I really didn't want to know. I've enough problems
without getting involved in some stranger's. Dismissing him from my mind, I returned to
the absorbing job of straightening the bookshelves.

"Wow, is that guy cute or what?" Darci said when she returned from showing our bogus
salesman the archives. "Did you notice how brown his eyes are?"
"Yeah, I noticed," I said, thumbing through the card file.

"He wanted to know all about Summerset." Darci propped her arms on the counter and
gazed off into space with a goofy look on her face.

"What did you tell him?"

"The usual—Summerset was founded after the Civil War. The main industry then was
the limestone quarries located outside of town. That a lot of the buildings are built from
stone quarried there."

"Wow," I said absently. "I bet he found that information fascinating."

Darci tossed her head. "Well, he did. He was very interested. I also told him about the
Korn Karnival held every fall."
