Kathryn recognized Dr. Chelsea Barren from her book cover. Her last novel was nearly a best seller, but was surrounded in controversy. Kathryn recalls hearing that Dr Barren was sued over it.
Kathryn went into the town Library early this morning to shelve books and water the plants. As she was leaving, she noticed Norman in the gift shop next door. The cashier placed a few items into Norman’s bag. She is certain that one of them was made of gold.
At morning coffee, Elizabeth showed Kathryn a corkscrew that Norman had given to her just half an hour earlier. Elizabeth seemed very flustered by the gift. She did not seem to realize that it was still in her hands when the doorbell rang at Noon.
Kathryn recalls that Enrique Graves seemed to have a lot more disposable income after Robert Killingsworth’s death – spending more time on his car and friends and less time at the library.
At noon, Michael Nightshade arrived to consider buying the Killingsworth Farm. Kathryn was not feeling well at the time, so while Elizabeth spoke to Michael Nightshade on the porch, Kathryn went to the bathroom to look for some antacid.
Michael Nightshade has been in the library often this week. Kathryn has pulled some research materials for him regarding the town history.

Michael arrived at Killingsworth Farm at noon. He approached the house to ask Elizabeth Killingsworth if he could look around the grounds and she seemed very happy to oblige. In fact, she almost seemed desperate to show him around. Behind Elizabeth, he could see Kathryn Lawless who came out to join them on the front porch at about 12:15.
While he and Elizabeth were walking around the grounds, he noticed that she was carrying around a small object. He does not think she even realized that she was carrying it as she had been so engrossed in talking about the farm. At about 1:00 PM, he was in the Rose Garden when a bee stung Elizabeth. She dropped the object she was carrying in the grass and ran back inside the house. Michael followed her.
Michael has spent the last four days at the library researching all aspects of the town. He needs to report back to his company to begin a marketing campaign for the new housing development.
