Jon tells Morgan he doesn’t think he “can be in a relationship with someone who has such a blatant disregard for their own safety.” Do you think he judges her fairly? What evidence suggests he’s correct and what makes you think he might be mistaken?
Thats a tough one. He maybe judged her too harshly because she was doing all of this to help a friend. Also, given her career, how could she not have pursued this. Blatant disrespect for her safety seemed a bit dramatic. On the other hand, Jon had legitimate concerns and for his own sanity needed to step away.
I did think she put herself in harm’s way a few times, but going into the woods to meet Roger was the worst. That was trouble waiting to happen!

He worried about her and many times asked her to come home. The worry was too much for him. So I do understand when he says he cannot be in a relationship with her. I hope he changes his mind in the next book!
I think he was right. She was reckless. Who goes into the woods alone after someone has shot at them. Jon knew his limits. He could not handel someone that reckless
I agree somewhat with Jon. Morgan consistently put herself in harms way with her only backup being her trusty dog, which saved her several times. Strange men pulling guns on her, going into the woods alone to meet someone. I would have not done that at all. So she was gutsy and independent for sure, but most men don’t like that. Still understand his concern and worries though, and he was a cop, so even more validated.
Knowing that there was a killer out there, Morgan still just met Roger in the woods which to me seems suspicious to begin with why wouldn’t you bring a friend, so yes I think he is correct in saysing she puts herself unnecessarily in harms way.
Yes, I agree with others that Morgan’s actions led to Jon’s decision. She was reckless and endangered herself. Their relationship was still “new”, but I expect Morgan will ride the ferry across Death’s Door to Washington Island to plead her case to Jon. They’ll have a future.
I think Jon had a different perspective with being a cop… He definitely saw the danger in things more clearly than Morgan did.
I am not sure I would go into the woulda knowing that a killer was there!! But what? I am a coward!
She did put herself in danger, even unnecessarily. But I think Jon’s comment was to see if she valued him enough to be more careful. In a “fair” sense, firefighters, police, and members of the armed services are all placed in danger and some is “unnecessary.” This was her passion. It seemed sexist for him to require her to essentially give up her job for him. I understand I’m only looking at one aspect, but I get pretty serious about disparate treatment.
I might have missed Jon’s message, but I didn’t think he was asking Morgan to leave crypto investigations but rather to use caution and consider whether an action might be incredible dangerous.
In my opinion, Jon was a selfish wimp as portrayed in the story, by not supporting Morgan in her endeavors to uncover the truth - Go Morgan!
I think he just wanted her to use her head more. I feel that someone who had just been chased by gunmen would not wander into a forest based on a note.
I agree that being a cop, Jon sees things through a different lens. He has seen what can happen in the situations Morgan puts herself in.
It’s understandable to me. How exhausting to be constantly worried about the safety of someone you love.
Jon knows you never go into a potentially dangerous situation without backup. Morgan did engage in reckless behavior and/ or her ‘Spidey’ sense was on the fritz. While her lone wolf investigating moved the storyline into more sinister territory, the outcome could have been tragic.
I’ve been privileged to enjoy travel to some fascinating places off the beaten path, but I would never act so rashly as Morgan. Her behavior reminded me a bit of some characters in B- horror movies when the audience is yelling- don’t open the door!

I don’t think Jon judges Morgan fairly. It seems she gets into these situations to help a friend. (That’s what true friends do.) Jon bases his decision to get out of a relationship with Morgan based on his own needs. He doesn’t consider Morgan is a caring person just that she causes him discomfort/fear. Shame on Jon!
