Veronica Mars Book Club discussion

Plot Point: Veronica speaks ti the Dewalt family and meets the private security consultant they hired, Miles Oxman. Mr. Oxman is not interested in finding out who took Hayley, just in finding Hayley.

This does not sit well with Veronica's strong sense of justice.

I didn't like anything about this ransom stuff and I didn't trust that this guy would help at all

Wasn't a fan of this so called random expert from the beginning

V always wants to know who, what when, where and WHY.

it's what I love most about her =)

V cannot say no to her inner need to know all the answers

This bothered me too. But I figured that his job is to make the ransom go smooth. Not to get justice for the person(s) responsible.

yeah. he just seemed shady to me.

Plot Point: The Dewalts had spoken to the Scotts about using the same private security consultant as them but the Scotts had someone else in mind.

It's part of what makes V so great

Plot Point: Veronica isn't able to interview William Murphy.

@neptune that struck me as odd how he wanted a different guy

This also seemed shady to me. The ransom calls indicate a connection between the two girls' disappearance yet they use different people?

Everything was so shady here.

Plot Point: While being interrogated by the media, Crane punches a reporter.

All eyes back on Crane!

Very shady

Plot Point: William Murphy has dismissed his public defender and is now being represented by an expensive law practice, Schultz and Associates.

Plot Point: Cliff McCormack was revealed as Murphy's dismissed attorney.

YeaH. I agree.... It at least seemed elitist. Like the other specialist wasn't good enough...

That was a great coincidence

Very suspicious. Expensive lawyers for a guy with no address?

i love Cliffy! he makes me smile...esp when he mentions Lola!

And how many of these ransom experts are there out there anyway? How big is this market that there are so many choices???

Side note Kristen Bell did an amazing Cliff (audiobook)

Crane punching the reporter reminded me of something Logan would've done when he was still an obligatory psychotic jackass haha

I was actually relieved for William Murphy, he seems like a nice enough guy, I didn't want him in prison for something he didn't do!

I love Cliff. I guess Neptune is short on public defenders. It always seems to be him.

I agree that the whole expert thing seemed shady & off. Why would you want extra people to possibly screw things up?

She did an amazing job! I felt like I could hear his real voice, and was it just me or was anyone else smelling lasagna?

@neptune hahahaa me too!! I was practically drooling

Except..... Maybe even something current Logan would do!. I mean Crane was defending his sister. I actually liked him so much more in that moment...

Yeap current Logan would do that if the reporter was saying something about Veronica for example :p

True; Logan would've done the same thing if it were Veronica

Me too. And i can quote on my phone now. Had to click switch to desktop. Thanks @Emtifahp and @emilymgraham.

.And that would probably only be the beginning...

This seemed way more suspicious than requesting a ransom specialist in the first place
