I have listened to rather than read The Fall Guy because I have vision problems. Sometimes I fall asleep and have trouble getting back to where I was in the book. I know when Chloe's boyfriend found Matthew in his house but was there a scene when Matthew stabbed him? Also what was the clue when Chloe stepped over something in the yard.

Has even a single Goodreads reader noticed that in the first 21 pages of The Fall Guy, the word 'had' appears 127 times (count 'em for yourself) and 120 of those 'had's are used incorrectly? That gives an error percentage of 94%, which is a record for all the many texts I have examined. And this man teaches "creative writing", whatever that is. Wow. He must have missed the sixth grade. 6/18/17
