Found Dead in Arugula:
Faith Interrupted Short Mysteries

Officer
Saito sat comfortably as if he were born to sit in the burgundy chair. In
another life, she thought as sorrow arrowed through her, he might have been.
Regret and the sound of a car braking hard in front of her house—a reminder of
Darryl’s death—made her wilt against the door frame. A microsecond later, she
rallied and stepped into the room.
“The Lenten cookies should be eaten while still warm.” She
handed him a plate with three cookies.
“Lenten cookies?” he asked.
“Meant for those fasting from sugar during Lent, but I serve
them year around.”
He took a tentative bite and grinned. “I’d eat these year
around.”
After finishing two cookies, he picked up the tablet. “How did
you know the deceased, Mrs. Towe?”
