Fatally Flaky, Part 3 Chap 19-end, with spoilers

[Mark Pghfan]

Well, time for part three. I really can't do any spoilers yet as I haven't finished. It seems we are headed for a colossal mess of an ending, as Goldy is intent on getting into the spa to find, well, we don't know. (Nor does she). Goldy really is getting a bit too wild in the investigating business, continually putting herself in serious danger. Everybody seems to know this but her!

[PugMom]

Ok, I'm starting the next section today.
I went back and read some reviews. Lots of people mention bad editing. Did anyone come across anything like that? Maybe the mistakes were caught and fixed by now. Maybe I just read so fast I didn't notice anything wrong.

[Mark Pghfan]

I've not noticed that, unless they mean editing to make things tighter and less repetitive.

Just joining you, PugMom, in starting this section today. But I didn't notice any editing probs. Then again with my punctuation prowess? and such, I wouldn't know a comma from an ellipsis if I ran on a sentence. Parenthetical blah, bi, dee, blah? WTH is that? LOL

Purr-fect, Pghfan, 'cause I ain't finished either. Standing in corner for my use of "ain't."

A little tightness would've worked as I did find myself "speed reading" through some but then I was keen to move on to more mystery. Not a bad read and certainly enough story to keep my interest.

[Tina]

That's quite a lot for Goldy to ask of Yolanda. She could get her fired.

[Nicole]

Audio version here (great, by the way!) - no editing errors noticed. I've just finished, and really enjoyed. Good mystery. I did have the killer correct, but the reason surprised me! :D

[Tina]

Sad note Jack left G G in the clock. I would've come undone on that one. :-(

Victor isn't very intuitive w/the peculiar happenings going on at the spa. He didn't seem to alter his activities none. Then again, maybe there's nothing to the goings on w/the smoothies, food etc. Getting there.

[Nicole]

Very sad! I was still hoping until the end that he was really alive and in police protection. :(

I know, Nicole. :-( And finally, I got this one right!!








Spoiler Alert --

But I didn't get the switcheroo w/the perp's, CM'S ID thing.

[Mark Pghfan]

I still have a bit to go. I was out of town for a few days, took the book with me, but didn't read it a bit!

[Mark Pghfan]

Well, I finished a day or so ago. Like some of you, I picked the culprit but not the rather involved rationale. Still, satisfying, though I still think Goldy went overboard on her recklessness,

[PugMom]

When Goldy started questioning the information Finn left I guessed the who. I never would have figured out every detail. I did think the shoes in the doctor's car was for a frame up.

[Tina]

Talk about throwing pearls before swine. Momager did not spend her money wisely. And disfunc daughter doesn't seem to have learned much from this whole deception. For her, I don't think online dating is wise. Then again, meeting for a coffee or lunch would send any prospective suitors running for the hills. Best she meets them online...for the time being. :-/

[Mark Pghfan]

I agree that Bridezilla didn't learn anything from this. And no pity for her already losing her husband so quick...

[PugMom]

Billie was very immature. It was the way she was brought up. Doing nothing for herself and getting her own way all the time. Maybe she'll learn her lesson when she's single, 65, and a crazy cat lady!

For sure, Pghfan!

Or paired off with someone as narcissistic.

[Mark Pghfan]

I pity the poor cats!

[Nicole]

Billie was awful, I'm not sure what kind of poor sap she's gonna talk into marrying her - IMO the money's not worth it, lol!

[Nicole]

I suspected Craig from the beginning, but I didn't know why or how - I was leaning more towards the fact that Doc Finn was warning Billie against marrying him but that was too simple.

LOL!!

There has to be an easier way, Nicole. LOL

Great deduction, PI Nicole. I didn't get Craig until last 1/4 of the story. I think I better remain an armchair detective. ;-)

[Mark Pghfan]

Am I the only one who found Goldy horribly rash in what she did?

Can you be more specific, lol?

[Nicole]

I do kinda feel like she was over the top with the godfather comments, and implying that Lucas didn't really care about his own father. But maybe I'm blowing that out of proportion.

[Mark Pghfan]

I thought her getting into the spa by having the cook feign sickness was over the top. Also, a whole lot of what she was told not to do by the husband/cop.

Yeah, that was the one that chafed my __ lol but that and putting the worker's job in possible jeopardy was a bit much to ask of a friend. Then, to catch a killer? I dunno.

[PugMom]

At least Yolanda didn't get involved in catching the killer and was pretty safe. I guess she lucked out in the grand scheme of things LOL

Yes, she did, PugMom and is alive to tell about it. :-)
