Paul should not be driving a car . . .

The wives…Charlotte confuses me, I can’t tell if she’s really an unreliable character, or just seems like one as a distraction. Hailey either has her husband completely under thumb or is totally manipulated by him but I just can’t tell yet.

I don't really like either wife, but I do really like Anna and her dad. The son and wife of the "murderer" are total wack jobs, in my opinion. Don't care for them either.

Actual footage of Paul:

I agree - I like Anna and her Dad - I am scared something is gonna happen to her sweet ol' dad!

I'm also worried about Anna's dad. Why else would he get so much page time unless he will figure heavily into the plot?

(view spoiler)[Cheesy, but Anna's dad going full Jack Nicklaus on the "bad guys" was probably my favorite part of the climax. He is so nonchalant about it; like kicking ass with a 9 iron is just what he does! (hide spoiler)]

Yes! (view spoiler)[ I knew there had to be a reason we kept "seeing" him rowing and working on upper body strength. ;-) Do you think his having fallen asleep in the car is a deuz ex machina? Does it count? (hide spoiler)]

Yes! [spoilers removed]"

Maybe . . . but (view spoiler)[at least he did the same thing throughout the book. If that was the only time he did it, it would have felt farther-fetched (hide spoiler)]

I am laughing so hard at (view spoiler)[your Jack Nicklaus reference, because I was thinking Jack Nicholson...when I was listening to that scene, I got this hilarious mental picture of him coming in, golf club flying and this "Heeeeere's Daddy (don't you eff with my daughter!" look ... (hide spoiler)]
