Who did you suspect was behind the theft and the murder? Did your suspicions change at all as the story went on?
I suspected Lauren might be behind Nova’s woes, although I didn’t realize she had taken the money. I figured Lauren left the door unlocked just to make Nova irresponsible. Michael was my guess for the money and maybe the murder…although I was hoping the later was Cynthia. Richard was not on the radar.
I did not suspect Lauren in the beginning nor did I think Michael was the one who took the money. I felt it would be too coincidental for Michael to be the one who stole the money. I felt the author wanted to lead you down that possibility but the end would be something else. I was not surprised that the Richard character was a bad lot.
Well I am never one to figure out a mystery before the end. I just go with the flow and am surprised at the end. I guess Michael should not have been suspected as it would be too obvious but I really had no ideas.
I was 100% convinced it was the mother-in-law until about halfway through when I suspected Lauren.
I thought it was the ex-employee–Bertha, Beryl? She kept hanging around and making snide comments. Then I suspected Richard. He was too helpful to Phyllis and too charming for a stranger. Made me wonder why.
I really didn’t figure it out until the end so it was a bit of a surprise. I was suspecting it was Craig’s mother as she was a character I didn’t like!
I actually thought Michael was the thief at the beginning. Yes, I did change my mind as the story went on. I never felt the theft and the murder were done by the same person.
