Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Eww! No Carson just messed up bad. Nate said it best, " Yiiiiikes! Wow. Wow. Wow." (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ Patty was willing to talk to Stevie and her friends, and damn I feel so sad for her. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[the killer must have had a motive to kill them, this couldn't be a random murder(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 4 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[he's the owner of the camp and he is ready to let Stevie explore all she wants, this should speed things along. Carson is a little suspicious though(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Poppy]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[at least Stevie was spared,i wonder if this means that Carson will no longer be able to help as much with talking to the witnesses and all. He still owns the camp so i think Stevie will be free to explore that as much as she wants(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[im guessing Sabrina went on a few dates with that guy, she was talking about him becoming her boyfriend afterall. Ig no one knew about that. That dairy must have some important clues. Sabrina was really stressed about some thing, maybe things at home?(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Definitely not random.

(view spoiler)[ I definitely feel like he is going to make it harder for her with the witnesses. (hide spoiler)]

[Poppy]

Courtney wrote: "Poppy wrote: "Courtney wrote: "Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[there's going to be suspicion from the witnesses when she tries to ask them anything, she'll have to make it clear that she wants to solve the case and not just make money from the podcast(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ That message left on Stevies wall was creepy. It has to be old there is no way that Stevie and Janelle slept through someone being in there with them. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ So Carson also got a message on his run. Someone is definitely screwing with them. Possibly the killer? (hide spoiler)]

[Poppy]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 9 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[wouldn't they notice if that was already written? The police might've done a bad job but i still doubt they'd miss something like this(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Poppy]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 11 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[which would mean the killer is still alive and is someone from the town(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Poppy wrote: "Courtney wrote: "Chapter 9 [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ That was my point. How did it get there ?Because someone would have noticed it so we know its not old, but there is no way it can be new either. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[maybe there is a secret way into the cabin? Or the paint was special and reacted to the light?(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Im banking on a secret way in. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ I knew Carson had something to do with the Surprise message, and David is on his way. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ Shit Allison is dead now. (hide spoiler)]

[Poppy]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 15 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[i wonder what cabin David will get, if he gets the panda cabin Stevie will be able to look around for the dairy(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Poppy]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 18 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[this could mean that the murderer is still around and wants to not let Stevie get too close to the truth. Everyone thinks that Cooper hit the kid but no one actually saw him, i mean they saw the Jeep but not him, it could be that it was someone else with his Jeep(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ Stevie thinks she knows where the diary is. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 29 (view spoiler)[ Holy crude it was Patty who helped kill everyone. I was not expecting that. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Finished (view spoiler)[ So Stevie and David made up, but he is still going to England for at least a semester. (hide spoiler)]

[Poppy]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 23 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[It seems like she found the dairy(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Poppy]

Finished (view spoiler)[i wonder if David will go to ellingham again at some point. Stevie will be a bit famous again.i wonder if she'll ever reveal the truth about Alice, probably not but it would be interesting.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Poppy]

Would you like to read the fifth book together?

[Poppy]

Someone already requested the link for july 10th

[Courtney]

Yes I plan on reading it. I am okay joining in on the 10th though. Gives me time to read my last two buddy reads this month.

[Courtney]

Poppy wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I dont think she will. Her killers are already dead, and it will hurt the school because they are getting all that money Ellingham left behind. I also doubt David will return, and if he does he will only be doing it for Stevie. (hide spoiler)]
