About the book: year / Collection "Thirteen Mysterious Cases". Story by Joyce Lampriere. One morning she was painting a landscape when two cars drove up to the place one after another. In the first there was a married couple, in the second there was a woman in red. The man, whose name was Dennis, called the woman in red Carol, introduced her to his old acquaintance and introduced her to his wife, Marjorie. While Joyce was working on the canvas, she overheard the three of them talking and Dennis's offer to hire a boat and take a ride around the bay. Carol, who didn't like boats, suggested we walk to the site and meet the couple there. Joyce later returned to work on the painting in a local pub. She noticed Dennis looking for Carol. He and Marjorie went in search of her. All this time, Joyce cannot shake the feeling that she saw traces of blood on the pavement in front of the pub, but now they are not there. Marjorie drowned a few days later and her body was discovered a few days later with a wound on her head..
