Question C

[Jonetta]

The human remains were on the grounds where the Cowleys leased their space but the property was owned by the Preece family. After meeting both families, who were you most suspicious of and why?

[Sharon]

I can't explain it but initially I was more suspicious of the Preece family. I thought that the bones were placed there by the Preece crew to throw suspicion on the Cowleys. As the story continued, I suspected both families. They were both shady and I couldn't find anything to redeem anyone.

[Jo Ann]

My alarm bells went off with both families but I wasn't sure who to focus on at first.

[Jonetta]

I was suspicious of both but because the Preece family owned the land, I leaned more towards them.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I thought they were in cohoots with the Preece's calling the shots and the Cowley's doing their bidding. The fact that the the Cowley's paid no rent for the land was a big clue that something was up between them.

[Jonetta]

Lisa, I went back and forth on them being in cahoots together, all the way until the revelation.

I thought the intergeneration nature of the reveal was quite well done as plot resolution. The author disguised the true nature of Bart very well.

[Jonetta]

I never, ever suspected Bart.

That was the twist.. especially the grandfather thinking he was gay and belittling Bart and praising up Dale. It was well done.

[Sharon]

I thought that the current generation of Preece's were angry that the Cowley's didn't pay rent and that was why they planted the bones on their property. It was a way to get back at them, and possibly take back the land.

Bart was never on my radar. It was a great twist.

[Jonetta]

I never came up with an answer as to the apparent animosity between these two families. But, that sounds like it would have been a good one.

[Lynn]

I agree with many of you that said you were suspicious of both families. There was just too much that neither family seemed willing to share.

[Robin]

Both families were acting suspiciously. I was going back and forth between them. Billy Cowley getting shot had me looking at the Preece family more. I couldn't imagine Billy's father or sister actually doing the shooting.

[Jonetta]

I didn’t know what to think. This was where I gave up trying to figure it out.
