Prologue
Item:
a red cashmere scarf
Longhampton, June 2008
Gina wraps her new scarf rightly around her wrist, like a bandage. It's a scarlet cashmere one that she bought on the way home from work two days ago, the color of lipstick and poisoned apples and danger. For something that cost so much, it took no time to buy: she was cold, she'd always wanted a beautiful big cashmere scarf, and the usual sensible voice of caution, reminding her of the gas bill or the council tax, had gone, and in the silence Gina could hear her own voice asking aloud, "Why not?" Berkley, Penguin, Random Thank you.http://rosecityreader.blogspot.com

Lipstick, poisoned apples, and danger. Sounds like a great read.
Happy New Year!!
