Okay, that last comment made me laugh. A hospital bill would be a great gag for all the perpetrators, and maybe they have bets on who it would be.

That I could totally see. I agree that Trueheart many not have been able to go through with it. Then again, Baxter is doing his best to corrupt the guy. I still maintain that it is more than one department, though. The entire NYPSD is probably in on it. They probably have a whole disavowle if someone is caught and a fund for the hosptial bill.

I think the way that the bullpen gobbles up the Nadine goodies, it's all of them, with Baxter as the head guy. The initiation idea is great. I can see Baxter coordinating it, but somehow I can't picture Truehart being able to do it without letting it slip in some way.
I think Peabody has done it a least once. In one of the books, she sounds a little guilty.

I love the idea of it being an initiation and that it is Eve herself.

I do things like that all the time, I always forget where i've put things! :)

I think it's Eve. It would be just like her to forget eating her own chocolate.

haha, I can't wait until she finds out, whoever it is, she will destroy lol.

No, it started disappearing before Peabody joined Homicide. Roarke brings Eve chocolate so it can't be him. Could it be the maintnance and requisitions crew? They do seem to be out to get her. Remember when she thought she caught the thief and he CLAIMED he was there to set up her new computer. Sure he had the computer, but perhaps it was just a cover in case he was caught. Perhaps it is a group effort between more than just one department. Homicide, the e-detectives, and maintnance. Baxter and Feeney are in on it.

I think it's either Peabody or maybe it's even Roarke sneaking in and taking it. He hates how she eats!

I only want to find out who's stealing the chocolate when the series ends (hopefully that's a long way off).

Hmmm...it couldn't be Summerset as it must be someone who can move in and out of the squad room without being noticed.

Whitney wasn't around originally and they began to disappear early on...it can't be his wife, either - she'd be noticed.

The plot thickens.

I'm not sure its been decided, but I am sure it is a character we have seen at least a few times. To have it be an unintroduced character would only be fun if it was one of Eve's nemesis from Maintnance, Mira's secretary, or Feeney's mysterious wife. Perhaps Summerset is sneaking in to her office and stealing the candy just to drive her crazy. Although, I still favor Whitney as the culprit... or perhaps his wife.

I think it's somebody we either haven't met yet or is not a main character who shows up from time-to-time.

Seriously, I doubt that's ever been decided.

Thanks for the reminder. It's been a while since I read one and my memory for names is atrocious!

That would be Feeney. He IS a very good suspect. Hmmm....

Wow! I'd never thought of it as an initiation thing. What a great idea! Of course, now I'm wondering if it could be Eve's former partner, head of E division, whose name, of course, now escapes me.

I admit I thought it was Peabody. You have good ideas though. I like the initiation idea and the idea that Whitney is behind it.

I like the initiation idea of the disappearance of the chocolate, but then I think everyone is pretty fearful of Eve so that might be "homicide" for the newbies! LOL! The idea of Eve forgetting that she's eaten is brilliant as well. I remember when I was teaching middle school, I always had to move around my personal stash of candy because everyone knew where to go when they got those "sweet urges!" :-D

Becky, that could definitely be what's happening to the chocolate! I never thought of that!

I think Eve is stealing it! I think she hides it and goes and gets it when she is hungry and forgets that she ate it OR forgets where her last hiding place was and goes to old places. She is generally busy and forgets those sorts of "useless" details. Just a thought :)

I hope we never find out who it is! It drives Eve crazy! LOL

I think its Commander Whitney.
I'm pretty sure it is not Peabody. I will have to double check,but I'm pretty sure it started disappearing before she was transferred over. For that same reason, it can't be Trueheart.

I think that it's a whole bunch of different people. I think that the whole bull-pen has an initiation, that when you get transferred to homicide you have to find and steal the Lt.'s cand without getting caught or leaving any evidence.

BTW, i love how she dusts for fingerprints, and there are none!!

I think its Peabody

That is so funny! I originally thought of Peabody, but i'm not sure!

A running gag in the series is how someone keeps getting into Eve's stash of candy bars. Who do you suspect is the culprit?
