2-3-4 Challenge Book Discussions #2 discussion

As the story progressed and Stacey researched her two cases, when did you begin to sense connections, if ever, to Kim & Bryant’s cases? What was the tipping point?

I knew from the start that they were going to connect because that is what Marsons does. I didn't begin to dig into a connection until Stacey started to believe that Sean was wrongly convicted even though I still didn't see how they were going to connect.

I didn't really think about the fact that the cases might be connected until someone put up a timeline showing how the killer had escalated. When Stacey mentioned that the killer jumped from an assault to murder, I knew that the two rapes had to fit in between them.

When the pair aspect of the case started to surface, it make me think back to the difference in the two rape cases.

Lynn, that’s about when the light bulb went off for me, too. Also, the scratches were a big clue. It was pretty early that my suspicions were raised. But I first had to reconcile that Sean might not have raped Gemma. That was a hard hurdle for me to get across.

It was definitely meant to make the reader think.

I agree! We had to pay close attention to just about everything in this one.

I agree. I have a few pages of notes and still held off connecting the two because I wasn't sure.

I already suspected that the cases were linked. Two rapists, two killers, Noah's Ark - it was a bit obvious.

Like Robyn, the confirmation for me was the jump from assault to murder in the timeline. I knew the rapes fit in there.
