something.
    “Maybe? I think there was a car.”
    “Can you remember anything about it? The color? The make?”
    Lindsay shook her head. “I couldn’t say for sure. I wasn’t paying attention.”
    Angie wanted to sigh, but held it in. “What about what they were arguing about? Are you sure you couldn’t hear any part of what they said? Anything at all? Did some words stand out?”
    Lindsay’s face scrunched up as she thought about it. “I don’t know…maybe someone said something about a picture? But that can’t be right.” Lindsay shrugged.
    “What time was it when you were near the candy store?” Angie thought this would be a question that Lindsay could answer.
    Lindsay looked up. “I finished my run around 7:30.”
    “Did you tell the police what you heard?”
    “The police came in to talk to us about the murder. I told them what I heard.”
    Angie nodded. “Good. Maybe it will help. Well, if you think of anything else, will you let me know? I’ll be back on Wednesday to drop off some more desserts.” Angie said goodbye and left to go to her car. She didn’t want to be late for her other deliveries.
    Just as she was getting in, a man’s voice called her name. She turned to see Josh Williams walking briskly across the street to her.
    Josh had a broad smile on his face. Angie felt her muscles melting at the sight of him.
    “Hey. How are you?”
    His blue eyes warmed Angie. “I’m good. Doing deliveries.”
    “I’m back from Maine for a while.” Josh leaned against Angie’s car. “I managed to extract myself from my brother’s tentacles.”
    Angie smiled. “How’s the project going?”
    “Slow. Davis drives a hard bargain. I think the deal is fine, but he always wants better terms so negotiations drag on.” Josh shrugged. “I came back to check on the resort. The new manager seems to be having problems.” Josh and his brother Davis were property developers and they owned a high-end resort located on Robin’s Point at the southern end of Sweet Cove. They had recently replaced the resort’s previous manager with someone new.
    “Is the new manager having a hard time settling into the job?”
    “I’m not sure what the problem is, really. There have been some complaints.” Josh brushed aside his concerns about the manager. “I’ll be around town for a week or so, maybe two weeks. If you have some time, would you like to try that bike ride again someday?”
    “I would.” Angie smiled. “Hopefully this time there won’t be a typhoon or other natural disaster.” Josh had invited Angie to go for a bike ride on the day after she closed her bake shop, but the day dawned with a deluge of rain and wind which didn’t let up until nightfall. They had to cancel the ride and the next day Josh had to go to Maine with his brother to pursue a land development deal.
    Josh gave a hearty laugh. “I certainly hope not. We deserve a sunny day after last time.”
    They exchanged numbers and Josh told Angie he would be in touch as soon as he had a chance to see what needed to be done about the resort. They parted ways, and Angie got into her car to make her next delivery. She wondered if Josh had heard about Mr. Finch.
    Yellow police tape was tied across the door to Finch Confectioner’s and as Angie attached her seat belt, she thought she noticed a light on in the back room of the store. She was just about to insert her key into the ignition, when Chief Martin emerged from the candy store. He waved to Angie with his index finger in the air to indicate that he wanted her to wait. Angie rolled her window down as the chief crossed the street and greeted her.
    “I understand Mr. Finch is staying at the B and B.” The chief leaned down so he could speak to Angie in the car.
    “He is. He checked in yesterday.” Angie’s hands rested on the steering wheel.
    “Did you talk to him?” the chief asked.
    “Not much. We had tea with him, but he said he was tired and went up to his room to rest. I don’t
