Question H

[Jonetta]

Sebastian recognizes Sid Cotton as the man who tried to kill him a few months ago. Was it made clear as to who hired him to do that? What do you think this guy is up to?

[Charlene]

Gee, I just read the book, but I cannot recall whether we got to the bottom of the Sid Cotton question.

[Jonetta]

Charlene, either I missed it, too, or it wasn’t clarified.

[Veronica]

I'm not clear on who hired Cotton either. He said it wasn't Ashworth but he could be lying about that. He could've simply decided not to go through with it after Ashworth cheated him out of payment for another job BUT that wouldn't explain why he's still following Sebastian around in this book.

[Jonetta]

I wonder if this will be something that shows up in a later story.

[Veronica]

Is it to far a stretch to think Victoria might've hired him? Perhaps wanting to get rid of the family member who has a penchant for sticking his nose into suspicious deaths? lol

[Jonetta]

Oh, I wouldn’t put anything past Victoria but she has to have an angle. Not saying she doesn’t have one but I don’t know what it could be at this moment.

[Sharon]

The fortune teller said Ashworth hired Cotton.

Victoria is a good choice, but I think Jarvis is in the mix too. I don't think Jarvis wants Sebastian dead...Yet. Though he isn't upset when someone tries to kill Sebastian unsuccessfully. It is a way to let Sebastian know that it is only a matter of time.

I think Amanda might be another good choice. She is so full of hate for her brother.

[Anita]

I thought Ashworth or his partner in the nasty business with the boys and girls, I can't remember his name.

I got the impression we haven't seen the last of Sid.
