The Alibi (A John Chance Mystery) – Chapter 27

No, not completely brand new. Pieces from previous chapters rearranged and edited for story flow and continuity. I’ve learned to live with such things. Hope you can, too. Enjoy.

Saying Hello to Mom

Bears, it seems, are taught a social etiquette when dealing with Two-Leggers. A kind of Ursine “Don’t talk to Strangers” me thinks. This affable matron – and my apologies for not noticing this during filming (filming???
