The Neighbor Never Left: A Consider It Handled Mystery

Rochelle Penrod moved away five years ago. That's what everyone on the street told me. The meals in my client's refrigerator had Rochelle's initials on every lid.

Inez hired me to move her out of a water-damaged house before the power was shut off. The checklist was long enough without the supposedly empty house next door: groceries arriving, lights going on, and neighbors who suddenly had somewhere else to be when I asked about Rochelle.

Then I learned that Gerald Noll, the man who had been helping Rochelle, was murdered days before I arrived. Rochelle may have heard the argument. She wants time to decide whom to trust, and I intend to give it to her.

But the people who've kept her hidden for years control her deliveries, screen her visitors, and speak for her whenever anyone asks. As I move Inez's belongings out, I start finding out how much of that arrangement Rochelle actually chose—and why Gerald decided it had to end.

Everyone thought Rochelle was gone. Whoever killed Gerald knows better.
