The Erstwhile Groom
by Laura Benedict
The Erstwhile Groom originally appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine.
Observing Kurt as he lives his careful, uneventful 1950s life, you’d never guess that he’s a murderer. If the annoying young man who insists on marrying Kurt’s daughter, Mitzy, had known, things would’ve ended a lot differently.
