Was there ever a time in the story where you suspected Salome? If so, when and why?

If not before, then at least when Kate overheard the little brothers hiding and talking themselves into keeping quiet.

I suspected her when John told Kate about Salome whipping Mose. He was really badly hurt, which indicated a certain amount of viciousness on her part.

Then I thought back on all the other incidents with Salome - her desire to leave the Plain Life, her taking Kate to see the mason jar with the money (which planted the idea of a robbery), the fact that she "escaped" from the truck as well as the question of how could Mose shoot at Kate if he were driving?

I was clueless about that vixen until I heard her brothers talking about her. Well, shortly before that though. When Kate rescued Sam and Ike, I started getting very suspicious. I couldn't believe Mose had it in him to kill his brothers and I started sniffing around Salome. Still didn't want to believe it but I was kind of looking her way. When the boys confirmed it, everything started slamming into my brain and connecting.

Yes, I also couldn't see Mose putting the boys in the pit. It was just so cold and calculating and I never got that feeling from him.

I agree...Mose did not seem like that whereas Salome had a bit of fight for myself vibe. She would do anything for self preservation.

...she was a very disturbed, and disturbing, character...

Very!
