The red herring definitely reeled me in. I suppose it was too obvious, I never twigged to Nigel at all.
Oh, I bit! Nigel never crossed my mind, either. I even suspected Louella before even thinking of him.
I didn't suspect Nigel at all. I don't think clues were set up to lead to him. But I knew it wouldn't be Carl...too obvious.

I was lured into the whole Marianne/Carl thing. I thought she was asking him to kill these pedophiles. Nigel never crossed my mind.
I was actually happy with this red herring and the fact that I fell for it. Up until that point in the book, I loved the characters but thought the mystery/villain was too obvious. When it turned out that things weren't as they seemed and the killer was someone I hadn't even considered, I have the book 5 Stars. I love when an author can give us great characters and a twisty story where I'm surprised at the ending.
