Question D

[Jonetta]

The second murder victim, Julius Northcott, has the word “cheat” branded on his forehead and the scene was identical to the first except there was a snake left loose in the house with a note to Bree. His father characterized him as a ladies man, too. What were you thinking at the time in terms of probable avenues to pursue in the investigation?

[Robin]

I thought the killer was a woman who had dated both Spencer and Julius. Both men were considered a "ladies man". The killer may have wanted revenge for being dumped or was upset that these men didn't seem interested in her. I even thought it was possible that it was someone who worked for a dating site and could see the activity of the participants.

[Sharon]

I agree Robin. There were so many ways this story could play out. My thoughts were:

one of the women from the dating app had reached her breaking point and ready to take out revenge on the men who used her.

a woman joined the dating site to find men who lied and take revenge on them.

[Jonetta]

Ditto what Robin said. Sharon, I also considered a vigilante type killer who was looking to take out these kind of men. I also considered it could be a male family member of a wronged date.

[Sharon]

I didn't think of a male family member, but that would have worked.

[Lauren]

Ooh! I never thought of someone at the dating app company. That would have been an excellent twist! We should write these books, lol!

@Jonetta - me too! I even suspected Farah's brother for exactly 30 seconds.

Lauren, I think about writing books all the time. Unfortunately, I don't think about good plots until I'm reading a book that puts it in my head. I'm sure I would be all over the internet for plagiarism.
