The vacuum cleaner sitting in the middle of the living room means Christine cleaned the house. Therefore, no vacuum clearly means no cleaning.
This appears to be Christine's husband's logic.
So she'll always leave proof of the day's householding tasks in strategic spots, and harvest the praise for a job well done.
Most of the time, her husband's blind spot makes her seethe—except when it gives her the freedom she needs to take care of business.
Other books by R.W. Wallace
R.W. Wallace writes in most genres, though she tends to end up in mystery more often than not. Dead bodies keep popping up all over the place whenever she sits down in front of her keyboard.
The stories mostly take place in Norway or France; the country she was born in and the one that has been her home for two decades. Don’t ask her why she writes in English – she won’t have a sensible answer for you.
Her Ghost Detective short story series appears in Pulphouse Magazine, starting in issue #9.
