Predictable. Not sure why I read these except they are easy and give me a reset.

The focus of the mystery is the barn fire that nearly killed a man. I thought it was going to be someone else. The person who did it didn't seem likely to do something like that. The subplot is about a possible business venture. I thought this was going to go differently too.
