We learn early on that Donnie murdered Lee and Kate and get his warped point of view. Did you believe, as they did, that he was also blackmailing and threatening Ellie?


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) Donnie seemed completely ruthless and unstable so I wouldn't necessarily believe anything that came out of his mouth. Although I guess it is possible as the reader has limited information at this early stage of the book.


~Melissa~ | 429 comments Donnie was definitely unstable and warped. Easy to see him murdering Lee and Kate. Around this time we also meet Ellie's boss and his Dad - I didn't like either of them and was wondering how they fit into things. The Dad seem extremely controlling and the son seemed weak. I figured at this point somehow the law firm played into this as well.

I think they were added as a kind of red herring. That all was not well at the law firm as a possible avenue of suspicion. They weren't particularly likeable characters were they. I think Ellie did mention she put up with them because she needed the job.

No, they definitely weren't likeable, lol. Along with the 1950's attitude.


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3484 comments This is a re-read for me. I have notes in my book that indicate that I thought Donnie was the blackmailer originally then clues pointed to someone else as the blackmailer.
