"You Know What You Did," by Karen Harrington, in Trouble in Texas, edited by Michael Bracken, North Dallas Chapter of Sisters in Crime, 2025.
This is the third story by Harrington to make my list. By coincidence it is her third story about Dr. Kellog. I say coincidence because this is the first time those two groups have overlapped, if you follow me.
Serena's daughter has been kidnapped. At least, that's how Serena sees it. Reasonable people may disagree. (Is Ava a minor or has she turned eighteen? The story is ambiguous, as far as I can tell.)
What is clear is that Ava has been collected by the insufferable parents of her boyfriend who won't allow Serena any contact with her.
So Serena goes to the aforementioned Dr. Kellog who runs a Remedy Clinic. His solutions are, shall we say, not mainstream (and non-violent, by the way).
I won't reveal any more about this charming tale except to say, while it's not a particularly funny story, one line made me laugh out loud.
