1985
Just about ready to sell their Padgett-Thompson company.

Lost this book for a couple of months .. finishing it this weekend.
His space then education careers are completed. Next up ?

More surprises !!

A bit long and drawn out .. suspenseful I guess.

Millicent almost died.
Who is terrorizing our heroine with a certain brand of vodka ?

Grace bribed Julius with a picnic basket brkfst so he would consult 4 her re: strategy 4 her career job.

Julius Arkwright = a worthy hero :)

My GR friends and followers are divided on this one. I am starting over on this .. was diverted by another book.
It has an okay start :)

108 of 202 pages. 50% (vs. 29% on iphone)
Is it ‘cuz this is NOT large print edition ?

Definitely skip reading @ this point ….

Big yawn here.
Repetitive yikes !

Fallacy here.
Who do they think broke into her house the night before ?!
Seems 2 me the killer knows exactly where he’s located AND hero is keeping a VERY significant fact from authorities.
This reader is frustrated at this point.

Believable ? Not too sure ….

Read 4 chapters. Moves along nicely ….

At what age was Dee raped ?

Suspenseful !
Sig and Dee (wife) know .. what ?
Was one of them (Sig ?) being blackmailed ?
Is Sig the killer ?

Dee remembers going to church with Don (her 1st husband) and Nelly.
Dee sang alto in the choir. Good memories for her.
And Becky (Bobby’s wife) has the faith in God in their marriage.

Bobby’s grandpa “had been a Jesus man”.

What is Sig’s stake in this jury outcome ?!
He is D’s hubby, pediatric orthopedic surgeon.
My mind is in a whirl ….

“Life was revealed in the details.”
-an Abby observation

I like the short chapters with appropriate Bible verses. After the murder we readers get a glimpse into the lives of four of the jurors: Abigail (older actress, single) Ken (aging playboy), D Kelly (busy mom, wife of Dr.) and
Bobby (28y husband, father of 2.5 kids and working two jobs).

Lance on teen groups in school and in church.
Note this.

I give up. I don’t care about these people anymore. Will peak at end & that’s IT.
This is not suspense it’s a grueling never-ending chase scene. Not good escapist reading .. yikes !

Preview ended somewhere in ch7. 1.20.26
Pediatric patient intubated & worked on.

One big chase .. I am bored.

Nonstop action. Really ?!?
