Status Updates From The Witness

Third update in less than an hour but I have to….the dialogue/writing is….not great.

“A chore he hated more than rat poison”
“The daffodils crowded together in sidewalk tubs, yellow as sticks of butter.”

Starting to see that my hunch was right about this type of book 🙈

Couple early thoughts:
-it’s giving corny procedural and I LIVE!
-Elizabeth is so smart that I’m not sure how she’s gonna develop. She literally knows everything about everything and we aren’t even halfway through. She’s boring at this point because there’s absolutely no grit. Hoping this changes. :/

Brooks and Abigail finally due to the deed. Afterwards she reveals to him that she had an idedic memory and that she thought she had to be a doctor growing up. He tells her he wanted to be wolverine. They fall asleep and in the morning she makes pancakes. She did not perform any of her nighttime security checks which will definitely become an issue

He gets a call about his old friend Ty, who is drunk again and abusing his wife again. He beats him into punching him on the porch in front of witnesses, hoping that this will put it into the bad decisions. He goes back to Abigail‘s after where he’s greeted with some Jamison and a cold compress.

Brooks calls interrupting her working session asking her what she wants on her pizza.
She decides she does want to sleep with him, and when he gets there, she tells him which is a little offputting

Abigail hacks into her mother’s an Ilyas computer to check in and see how their lives are going. From time to time she sends big packages of data from i’s computer to the police and has shut down an illegal prostitute ring among other issues he’s getting married.

Brook brings his parents, a puppy that they name Plato. He is some sort of shepherd and very cute instantly melting Sonny’s heart. He is pulled away in momentarily for a report of a b&e. That is an elderly woman who reports them at least once a week as her house settles and makes noise.
