When Judd arrived at the Crenshaw home, he surveyed the vintage two-story Spanish style structure. Like so many houses in the neighborhood of El Cid, it had been built in the early 1920s, with its white stucco exterior and red barrel tile roof. It had distinctly Spanish details like arched doors and windows, and wrought iron railings. He recalled the beautiful wood floors and exposed-beam ceiling hed seen on the day of the funeral.
The first thing on Grahams list had been the hedges that surrounded the property. They were tall, about eight feet high, and they were definitely in need of being trimmed.

He pondered whether to knock on the door and let Jessi know he was there, but then he decided to just start. Shell figure it out.
