Week Two discussion

[Debbie]

Week two
I was thinking of stopping at Sutton but one, I didn’t want such a long section for next week and two, I was curious. ☺
And again just use this as a guide to week two please ask and discuss whatever you want to.
So wow, a lot happening in this week’s section so let’s get to it.

Any changes in your opinions?

We now know that Ethan didn’t kill Sutton, but did you entertain that thought?

Holly Graham mentions early in the section that Sutton left a trail of breadcrumbs.
Do you agree?

Speaking of Sutton were you surprised to learn she was bipolar?

Are you surprised that Ethan didn't realize it wasn't Sutton in the video when her friend Ellen knew right away?


Ah the evil Mr. Wilde
Do you think he’s the mystery person?
Do you have any idea yet who is?

Those who can’t wait I’ve opened a spoiler welcome thread.

I know that Ang was having a harrowing week I guess all of you are.
I can't wait to see what you thought about week two.
I'm just getting ready to finish the book ;-)

I'm getting ready to move on to section three, so I thought I'd better post something here. Yes, last week was very busy!

All along, I haven't wanted to believe that Ethan was a killer. He has some really bad qualities, but I still find myself liking him more as we continue on. I still don't like Ivy. She's too involved and she rubs me wrong.

I do think Holly is following a trail. I really, really like her and wonder if she'll get her own series!!!

I wasn't necessarily thinking Sutton was bipolar, I just wasn't sure what her agenda was! And I'm not sure if Ethan not recognizing her in the video is part of some plan or if he's just too emotionally drained to notice the differences.

Still not sure about the mystery person, although I've got my eye on Ivy.

Finally got section two read!!

I am the same and all along I didn't think that Ethan had killed Sutton, so to get conformation of that wasn't really a surprise.
I actually feel sorry for him. But I have a strange feeling that it won't last.

I am liking Detective Holly a lot, especially how she isn't afraid to go with her gut instinct. And demanding that they listen to her when she made the discovery of Ethan's innocence. And yes, I think Sutton has left behind a trail to follow. Where is it going to lead is what I can't wait to find out!!

I had a sneaky feeling that there was something up with Sutton, certainly I was thinking she was some kind of crazy! But with reading towards the end of our week 2 section, I didn't realize how far the crazy actually went. I'm not really having any warm fuzzy feelings towards Sutton. I'm a bit mad at her actually for going and throwing Ethan in the S**t and leaving. But there might be more as to why she has done it to come, as we read further.

Ahh, the mystery person, no clue at all. But I agree with Tarheelgirl and think Ivy has a bigger part to play in this yet.

I am really enjoying reading about all the lovely places in Paris, I asked JT if she had actually been to Paris because she described things so vividly.

To wrap up, I really have no clue as to where the story is going to end up... Hope to get a big chunk read tonight!!

Sorry for the delay in posting. Hopefully a quieter week to come!

Sorry, just finished section two. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all the new information we learned in this part.

Ethan didn't strike me as a killer. Following along with the story, my gut has always said he was guilty of a lot of other things that went wrong in their marriage, but I always felt if Sutton was murdered, someone else did it.

A trail was left for the police to follow but I'm still not sure if Sutton left the trail or if it was someone else. To me, Sutton seemed to have covered her tracks very well.

I was surprised to learn Sutton was bipolar. It did explain more of her actions.

It was strange to me that Ethan couldn't tell it wasn't Sutton in the video especially since Ellen noticed it immediately. Was it possible they had drifted so far apart that he didn't recognize her or did he just assume it was her because it looked like something she was capable of?

Mr. Wilde has thrown me for a loop. Interesting that he lured Ethan to Gentry's Farm to meet up and the body the police found happened to be there later too. Is he behind all this and is he really who he says he is? And who was it they found?

I've been suspicious of Ivy since the beginning. If Ethan was telling Ivy the truth about the password they had found for Sutton's computer and then it changed, Ivy was left alone with the computer while Ethan talked to the police so she could be guilty. Too much of a coincidence for me.

There are still so many unanswered questions, I can't wait to read on and find out what's really going on!

Great comments

My feelings on week two were like this

I agree with not knowing Sutton was bipolar and having someone with the disorder in my family it does answer some questions about her. But like Ang I don't feel any warm fuzzies where Sutton is concerned.

My favorite characters in this section and the book so far are Ethan (I think he's totally innocent in everything except adultery) and Holly.

the mystery person arghhhhhhh I haven't a clue JT you are a genius.

It surprised me also that Ethan didn't realize it wasn't Sutton in the video but he's under a lot of stress so I guess that explains it for me.

When we learned the baby was murdered I was distraught that someone would do that and It cemented two things if one of the parents didn't do it then the culprit is way closer than I first thought and whoever it is, is pure evil to kill a baby.

On to week three!!! :)

Deb, I totally agree with your favorite characters. I really do like both Ethan and Holly.
