Said Mouth Quote by Theresa Romain

“I’ve dispatched Stratton,” she said. His mouth curved. “You can’t mean you’ve killed him.” She laughed. “Not this time, though I was tempted. I’ve installed him in a hotel under guard and made it quite clear that he was to return to London.” quote by Theresa Romain
