Question M

[Jonetta]

Were you shocked that Richard died or prepared for that to happen?

[Charlene]

I wondered when they were at the church, and he thought it was a pin prick, whether the author was writing poor Dennis out of the story. I wasn't sure I liked to see him disappear; he seemed a likable chap.

[Jonetta]

I felt the same, Charlene. The way he stayed down was ominous.

[Phrynne]

The author seems to like disposing of Sarah's rich suitors - so far one turns out to be a murderer and one is murdered.

[Jonetta]

Hmmm...good point.

[Robin]

As soon as Dennis mentioned that he had been stabbed by the hat pin but it wasn't a bad wound, I knew that was going to be the end of him. I was certainly surprised that the author chose to kill him off.

[Lauren]

I was kind of surprised that the author killed him off so suddenly without any warning.

While I knew he wasn't the man for Sarah, he was growing on me as a person willing to own up to his prejudices and mistakes. I'm kind of sorry he died just as he was becoming a better human being.

[Jonetta]

Me, too, Lauren.
