Wondering Eyes

On Christmas Eve, Ann Kinnear discovers that some gifts come from beyond the grave—and one of them could change her future in the skies.

For her first Christmas Eve in the Curragh, Ann Kinnear expects nothing more supernatural than bourbon-spiked eggnog and a cozy night with family. But when a thoughtful gift leads her to revisit the vintage Stinson aircraft she has fallen in love with, it's not the quiet night she expected.

Inside the dim hangar of Avondale Airport, Ann encounters a figure no ordinary visitor could see: the Stinson's late owner, whose devotion to the plane didn't end with his death. With the Stinson due to be sold off for parts, his message is clear: the aircraft's fate hangs in the balance, and only Ann can save it.

With its atmospheric setting and quiet tension, "Wondering Eyes" offers readers the hallmarks of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Shorts: a brush with the unknown, a puzzle rooted in the past, and a heroine for whom doing the right thing sometimes means listening to the dead.

An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short from Matty Dalrymple, author of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels, beginning with THE SENSE OF DEATH, and the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers.
