"Did you hear about the murder?" "You mean Mrs. Thomson?" "Yes, it's all over town." "I heard she was found in her garden." "With the gardening shears, can you believe it?" "But she was so well-liked, who would want to harm her?" "That's what everyone's wondering." "Did the police find any clues?" "They're keeping it under wraps for now." "I can't imagine anyone in this town would do such a thing." "It's unsettling, to say the least." "I wonder if it has anything to do with her winning the baking competition." "You think someone would kill over a pie?" "Stranger things have happened." "Well, it's enough to put me off my scone." "I don't blame you. I keep thinking about poor Mrs. Thomson." "She'll be missed."
