Veronica Mars Book Club discussion
Mr. Kiss and Tell

MKAT Chapter 32- Chapter 38
Mod
Veronica tries helplessly to get Lamb to do the right thing. Lamb continues to prove himself to be a jerk-
"Yeah. But, I mean, if she's a prostitute, it's not rape so much as shoplifting, right?"
**pukes**
So very Veronica! LOLNeptune Rising wrote: "Ch 32
Clayton gets V in to see Lamb. She of course has to enter his office with a "Ta-Da!" and jazz hands.
LOL. LoVe this."
Yes that Lamb comment was a new low!

LoVe Norris!! And I love that he still has a soft spot for Veronica."
I'm glad that ..."
"He needed me and, like always, I chose the job. I chose wrong."At least V is finally recognizing her poor choices.
I'd hate to see every single cop on the force corrupt. We need a Serpico on the inside for when Ronnie goes after the bad guys. Book 3 y'all. I need it.
Mod
Veronica flies to Seattle for Bilbo's funeral.
"I stayed behind on a fools errand. Why did I think I could convince Lamb to do something even remotely helpful? Why didn't I just go with Logan? He needed me and, like always I chose the job. I chose wrong."
I made it!!!Man I hate Dan Lamb. At least with Don Lamb I was able to tolerate him to a degree. Dan is just annoying. But thinking about it I really want to know his connection to Petra landros. Or Landros' connection to the sheriffs department. I remember there was something in the last book...
Mod
I love Veronica's internal commentary here:
"Her strategy for honoring the dead had always been to take action- solve the mystery, punish the criminal. But what did you do when there was no one to punish? When there were no answers to find? How did you assimilate that kind of loss without losing your mind?"
Mod
"Admit it, Veronica- it freaks you out to see him take this so seriously. Freaks you out because you convinced yourself this military thins was some fanciful rich-boy goof. But it's not. Not even close."
I LoVed all of Veronica's introspection throughout this book. She's finally growing up in so many ways. Neptune Rising wrote: "Ch 33

Hello all, late as usual here haha. This dialogue is really interesting. We all
Know V can't let it be. I feel like her only answer for herself
Is just keep looking. There's nothing else she is equipped to do.

I'm surprised it took this long for her to realize Logan is seriously about his work. It's almost like she doesn't pay attention sometimes.

Inner demons! Hehe. Or just the opposite of what he would say. Or anyone who has compassion for humanity.
"His life is still a mystery to me in so many ways."Indeed it is Veronica.
Mod
Veronica counsels with the Navy wives.
"She already knew that he's decided to leave- before he opened his mouth to speak. But for one last minute, she could pretend that he was hers to keep. For one last minute, she held him, and let him hold her."
Be right back guys. Need tissues.
I think it was more wishful thinking. She wanted to think the military was a fad but I think deep down she always knew he was serious. I, though, had doubts
Mod
V attends the Sheriff's candidates debate.
V has been texting with Leo about the Sheriff's race and Grace's case.
Well those 2 have just fallen right back into their friendly ways haven't they?
So if V wants to learn about Logan as he is now, we should have an entire other Movie or book revolving around Logan. Problem solved.
LoVe the texting commentary between Leo and Veronica in this chapter. I LoVe Leo!! :)

It's always good to see him, and it's always great to see Dick. But they better not break up LoVe.

Mod
Mars INvestigation has lost a paying case because Veronica has been so caught up with the Manning case.
Theres that tunnel vision....
How do you feel about Veronica neglecting her paying case for the Manning case?
Mod
Dan Lamb pulls the "Don Lamb" card.
Dan Lamb: "I ran for office in part to honor his memory. And if I didn't think I'd succeeded, I wouldn't be standing up here again asking for your vote. I've made this city a safer place to live. I've been in the trenched. And I've done it for Donny."
Mod
Keith gets in a good word with Lamb.
"When we're all in court next month, when you're getting your butt pounded by the lawyers, when you're sitting there in mute awe as you see all the evidence stacking up against you...just remember: That's all for Jerry Sacks."
**high fives to Keith!!**
Mod
Veronica receives an email response from an escort named Bethany Rose.
Progress!!
And, that's why we LoVe Papa Mars! :)Neptune Rising wrote: "Ch 34

There's a part of me that wants more books and/or movies but not if we have to deal with logan and veronica break up drama. Over it. It's possible for her to have a good working relationship with Leo without being romantic. Also, she should look at being a police detective so she can teach down perps without losing paying cases.
Tunnel vision is the perfect way to explain Veronica. Glad I was able to join in the discussion again but need to leave soon. Family is ready to leave the curling club and head home :)
Mod
Veronica finally has proof that Bellamy is Mr. Kiss and Tell. She maps out his possible victims:
Grace Manning, Nikki Valentine, Bethany Rose, Tonya Vahn, Madelyn Chase
Mod
What case would be complete without Veronica leaving a voicemail impersonation? Veronica pretends to request a booking with Madelyn Chase.
Think she ever forgets to change her voicemail greeting back afterwards? LOL
Mod
Veronica is able to talk to Nikki Valentine. Nikki recognizes Bellamy as a client who tried to get rough with her. Bellamy was beat up when she called in her boyfriend. His experience with Nikki might have been what made him realize he might like choking girls.
I'm at a family dinner in Palo Alto now. Haha. So I probably can't post much.
I'm with you, Leigh. I'd skip more material if I have to endure another breakup.
Mod
Personally I would love Keith back in office.

Mod
Veronica gets a call back- but not from Madelyn Chase. Someone named Isabella calls instead wanting to fill in. Madelyn is no longer with the agency. Veronica reveals her intentions to find out what happened to Madelyn.
Isabella asks Veronica to meet her in Vegas.
"Pony! Drop it. Drop it!""Why don't you chew up Daddy's things? He has a bomber jacket just begging for some puncture marks."
Glad we got a little more fun times with the new little family.
Mod
This was a short chapter!
Logan announces he will be returning to the Truman.
"Because, for better or worse, that was the way they were both wired."
How do you feel about Logan's decision to leave? And Veronica's reaction?
I LoVe that she calls him daddy and recognizes them as a family.
Mod
Veronica arrives at the Mercury hotel in Vegas and leaves a message for Isabella.
"Congratulations Veronica. You've just ordered your first call girl."
Mars and Mars- always a reason to order a call girl, lol
Mod
Isabella and her security guard "Sweet Pea" reluctantly tell Veronica everything they know about Madelyn missing.
Madelyn Chase has been missing since last December. When she went along to meet a last minute client.
Mod
Sweet Pea is very interested in serving up his own brand of justice to Bellamy. Veronica debates letting him, but decides to keep going her own way. But takes his information- just in case.
"That's not how I do things. Dirty as this world is, I've got to stay clean."
Clayton gets V in to see Lamb. She of course has to enter his office with a "Ta-Da!" and jazz hands.
LOL. LoVe this.
