The Bennett Case: Letter to Bessie, part one - Chapter 5

[Nicole]

Hi everyone, let's get the ball rolling....here is the first discussion page for The Bennett Case. This discussion does not have spoilers (per Mark's suggestion) for those who aren't caught up yet. The second concurrent discussion will have spoilers for those who are ready to discuss all the clues!

Letter to Bessie, part one - Chapter 5 (and no farther)....GO!

[Tina]

Off yet on topic...For fusing about going on date (in 1st. installment) Joan took to the dating scene like duck to water. lol

[Nicole]

I know, right?!? Janet doesn't seem to mind. She's practically kicking her out of the house so she can get some alone time, lol! ;-)

[Mark Pghfan]

It didn't matter so much, because Janet has her opportunity (albeit reluctantly) soon enough.

[Tina]

LOL Nicole, Pghfan. Now about the visitor just showing up. Mmm?

Hey, PI's, as for Kindle e-book loan thing - Is that another monthly fee I'll be paying? I have Prime and a Kindle. Is this requiring a sep. fee or included with either of those? Anyone know? I clicked on my way out and there was no way to un-click it. Convenient, huh? :-/ I really don't need or want it but would keep it if it's already included in the afore noted.

Tina, not all Kindle e-books are available to loan, but there is NOT a fee for those that are. Unless it's changed, they can be lent for 14 days, during which time the lender doesn't have access. It's included with your Kindle and completely separate from Prime - at least it used to be! I hope this helps. :-)

Yes it does, Nicole. I may as well use it where I can. Just didn't want to get stuck with another fee. Good to know (far as we can tell) there's no extra fee for this. Thanks!!

I started reading last night and I was thinking it might be interesting to also read this author ‘s other series. She notes the Sisters appear in book 4 in that series and that’s why there is a Letter to Bessie because the sisters keep in touch with her.

[Tina]

I dunno Lootsee...as cautious as the sisters were, to have all these strange men passing through their doors seems a bit off to me esp. since there is a fugitive on the loose.

As for Janet not liking Edward, why not send Joan out on the date? lol Her heart was broken so that may have cheered her up.

[Mark Pghfan]

Didn't Joan like and date Michael? Edward is certainly a mysterious person--should be like him or is he a villain?

Yes, but he ditched her for the old friend who came calling. Why not have her join the two guys? But as Michael kept his plans w/his friend over Joan, and Joan was hurt, why not have her go out with Edward, esp. if Janet didn't care for him.

[Nicole]

For a spinster she’s quite particular, lol.

LOL

[Mark Pghfan]

Just finished the read a few minutes ago. Things do get wrapped up satisfactorily!

[Tina]

Another new man showing up? Forget online dating, this is the place to be! lol Maybe they should run this B&B as Babes & Beefcakes Inn.

Where is the letter? I keep seeing posts re: a letter but haven't seen it. Does it appear at end of this story. :-/ ?

[Nicole]

Letter or papers, Tina?

[Mark Pghfan]

The letter at the beginning of the book? The preface?

[Tina]

I got it, PI's. Thanks. Letter came at end of story. Unless I'm missing something, I didn't see any huge revelation in the letter.

I didn't get the perp as that person seemed to disappear after their intro, usually a clue to who the perp is in many mysteries. lol So, when a character tends to disappear in a story, that's usually whodunit. My $ was on someone else.

[Nicole]

PIs, do we want two separate discussions for the last section or just one? We seemed to all congregate to the one with spoilers. Please advise, I'll defer to the majority!

[Mark Pghfan]

Since we will be done, I say one, with spoilers implied.

One. It's such a short read--

And sorry if I posted (mini) Spoiler. I just took it that everyone was waiting for me.

I skipped over it, Tina, lol! ;-)

[Tina]

Purr-fect, Nicole. ;-)
