Cass returns home, tells people about the swap and they’re all “oh, yeah, cool. I should grow up myself too”?

Not a single one gets even a little bit angry?

Okay, the conversation with Brett is a scene, and I’m still disappointed. The theme should have been: you don’t have to understand, you only have to accept.

Finally, Charlie had “the” conversation with Brett and it was heated and livestreamed and not written as a scene in the book.
Now I have to take everyone else’s word for it that she was harsh on Brett.

Ain’t Miguel just about perfect for Cass? His lack of personality a perfect fit for her lack of character.

In my head I’m totally rewriting this where Cass falls for Austin because he manages to tease out the bad-ass chick in her.

Charlie admits to Cass that she hasn’t gotten through to Brett yet. Without mentioning that she hasn’t even so much as tried to get through to him.

”I love how you aren’t afraid to enjoy things, to ask for what you want,” Jake said

about the woman that fails at every opportunity she has to tell Brett he is no longer in a relationship with Cass (and to leave her alone). In fact, her conflict avoiding tactic can even be considering as “leading him on”.

Charlie does remember Cass told her she broke up with Brett, but for some reason, she never reminds Brett of it. Why not?

Charlie continues to be spineless. Brett, whom she doesn’t even like, rubs her arm thinking she’s Cass, and she doesn’t immediately point out to him that Cass dumped him and that he can’t do that anymore.

Cass meets Austin who immediately starts rubbing her shoulders and like her sister, she does not tell him off about it. How is a guy with grabby hands still in television, by the way?

Charlie tells her sister she has a little concussion and Cass thinks so that’s why I’m having a headache. Then Charlie lays out her plan to swap lives, and not once Cass asks: should you be doing this with a concussion? She even suggests her sister drives somewhere. With a concussion. That is actually dangerous to OTHER people too.

“One local resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said, ‘I witnessed six people from town who crowded into a hidden séance room and

The obvious question is: how can someone witness what happens in a hidden room if they are not a member of the party of six in the room?

“Everyone stay put,” the sheriff announced, as the EMTs raised the gurney and prepared to leave. “This is a crime scene.

Uhm, no. You can only declare something a crime scene when you know a crime has taken place. A sudden death is not necessarily a crime.

TMI

Carissa gets over-informed a lot. She ought to stop asking questions if she doesn’t like the answers people give.

Odd that you didn’t mention the woman’s demise at breakfast this morning.

Oh, I didn’t think reading out the obituaries in the local newspaper would be of interest to people from out of town.

“Or Pop Tarts?” asked the other.[…] “I’m sorry,” Staci said, “but they’re gluten intolerant. Do you have anything that’s gluten-free?”

Why didn’t the mom check if there were gluten-free options when she made the reservation? Or at check-in? Don’t expect a wide breakfast selection from a place that only has four rooms.

And the kid should know pop-tarts aren’t an option for him.

started to shut the door, then left it open for Noah, even though I knew he had a key.
She’s worried about accepting a diner invitation from this guy because she barely knows him, but the fact that he has a key to her bedroom doesn’t bother her at all.

Sherriff says there has been a death and he’s doing a routine check on everyone that may have talked to the victim the previous night.

Then why does it take him a full page of narrative before he discloses the name of the victim? Would it help his investigation if people knew who he was talking about?

Why is Jessa making such a thing out of sleeping in the same bed as Brody? How much space does she think he takes up? Is she trying to protect her virtue?

“Scotland Yard has someone meeting the train.”

Why? Was the victim a police officer with Scotland Yard?
The murder took place while the train was in Bulgaria. Bulgarian police should investigate. Scotland Yard is not the police of continental Europe.

I think this is a murder mystery for simpletons.

“Thomas takes yoga classes with two of the new CSC officers,” he whispered. “This morning, he overheard them talking about how a latte might have killed that poor man.

If the police haven’t officially released this information, it’s very unprofessional - probably punnishable - for two officers to talk about it in public.
It’s probably also bad for emptying their mind.

Wearing gloves and carrying an evidence bag, he efficiently collected the can but also collected other individual items from the pile and placed them in separate bags.

I’ve sat on this question for long enough: why didn’t the police search this area when they first arrived on the scene and realised they were dealing with a possible suspicious death?

What a weird ass world does this author live in? A guy ask his girl-friend to marry him. The girl’s reaction:

Her expression was one of delight rather than surprise.

I should hope a marriage proposal does not come as a surprise. If it comes as a surprise, the two people involved aren’t really on the same page in regards to their relationship and probably shouldn’t be getting marrried.

Listen, maybe your daughter should call it a day out there, come home. We all make mistakes.’

Susan has just moved into the realm of unlikable character. Robert just asked her to go with him to France for a few months to help out his daughter. Susan dislikes the idea so much, she suggest the daughter just pack in her dreams.

A simple ‘no’ would’ve done.

We’re halfway through the book and Susan has just made her first attempt to investigate. Upto this point people came to her and she may or may not ask them things, but now she made her first step to actively insinuate herself in a situation. Halfway through the book!

LeAnne laid her hand on his knee.

First an arm around his shoulder, then a hand on his knee.
There is such a thing as subtelty (particularly when moving in on someone who’s been a widower for less than 24 hours.

‘There were two,’ replied Nick. ‘Maxine had one. The spare key was hanging up on a hook by the door.’

That’s not actually true, but Nick doesn’t know that. Why didn’t Zoe correct him?

“What in the world is wrong?

Nathan asks his wife, just after she mentions that her mother’s business or life could be ruined if she were charged with reckless endangerment.

Does he not listen to his wife when she speaks?

“Should I send it to Nathan?” “That could save us another scolding,” I said,

Please don’t share information you obtained illegally/through subterfuge with the police. They can’t use it in evidence. Better tell them who might have interesting information and let them ask for it/get a warrant.

Eating at restaurants in fiction always puzzles me. Hayley orders her lunch; she and her company exchange about 30 seconds of niceties; lunch is delivered.
Is this a fast food type of place where lunch orders are already plated up and only need to be picked up from the counter to be delivered to the customer, or was there a long pause in the conversation that wasn’t mentioned?
