So, once again, Annie IS allowed to stay at the house with an active crime scene - just don’t cross the police line, pretty please! At least this is an obvious homicide so the scene was actually processed properly.
There’s more to the death of Ford’s family than we thought.
I hate the new police chief.
Of course Annie is being set up! But by who & how are they gaining entry to the house?

Interesting to see Ford’s info surrounding the fatal car crash & the events leading up to it. Doesn’t explain everything though.
Samantha & Chief Marks can hold hands & skip merrily off a cliff together. Also very interesting that he has history in Castle Knoll.
Why did we skip over reviewing the security footage? Has Annie still not done that & just handed access over to the cops like they can be trusted?

Finally we’re getting to the contemporary mystery.
How did the killer get in the house? How did Peony? When did the murder actually occur & was the weapon the most obvious? Will the police be dumb & allow Annie to stay in an active crime scene yet again?
I’m glad to have some Jenny in this one - she balances Annie out pretty well & I like her character.
Screw these antagonistic, unprofessional cops.

Chapter 9 has some Gravesdown tea!
Ellen had a damn good reason for vandalizing that Bentley & I salute her for doing what she could to protect her fellow ladies.
I have a few theories about who paid her bail.
It’s cool to meet Archie’s brother.
It also cleared up confusion I had about the collapsed “old pub” from ch. 1 - I was unsure if it was separate from the Dead Witch where Annie frequents. It is.

I’m having a harder time discerning between Annie & Fran’s voices this time. maybe it’s because both timelines are discussing the same incident, maybe I have less of a bond with Fran in this one.
I have my theories about Winter 1967 & the ruby in the road.
Glad Archie’s getting more development.
Why did I think Samantha was younger?
The new police chief is a dick. Giving Sheriff Lamb from Veronica Mars.

I can’t wait to get past these clunky recaps - they’re even worse in the excerpts from Fran’s diary. No one writes in their journal like that.
I’m glad we’re looking into the suspicious car wreck that killed Ford’s family.
Was Archie in love with Fran? Everyone else seemed to be.
Slightly random info dump on Archie’s past.
Interesting find in the water wheel. Probably shouldn’t touch it.

Another group read with MIL & hubby.
I wonder what the Bentley’s owner did to invoke Ellen’s wrath. Also, her new name is highly predictable.
Poor Annie, the lonely heiress. She’s whining about the Foyles leaving their jobs in the estate - you have the funds to hire more staff. They still live next door, you can visit them.
The recaps of book 1 are clunky. Annie’s loneliness could have been shown vs told.
