Brenna is also a recent twist to the investigation.<br /><br />Joni would be, but using her information would get awkward. "I thought you said you were ducking. How did you see the scar on her neck?" Brenna should, yes. IIRC, Craig had been hit on the head by a microwave in the months before and had mentioned not remembering what happened, so that got worked in.<br /><br />I thought I put that info out there. Someone did find the body and a crowd gathered before the police could arrive. And too many people took selfies, though that wasn't a thing in 2009, IIRC. Brenna could, but she prefers having someone around still looking at reality properly. And Brenna likes having Missy around.<br /><br />Ooh, that's a major change. I just forgot Krista's name. :)Scott Delahunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735796666483741699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464382918796251124.post-33424936045852723022017-02-05T12:21:38.505-05:002017-02-05T12:21:38.505-05:00Your mention of "the lower the chance of a co...Your mention of "the lower the chance of a copycat murder" makes me think that's still a reason for the police to keep tabs on Brenna. She does have some details, after all - heck, for all they know, it's a two-woman team. And with the heat on Brenna, she went somewhere she was sure to have an alibi while her partner killed another person.<br /><br />Also, "From her view, the attack happened too fast. She was getting into her van when her mother yelled at her to drop down" -- so wouldn't her MOTHER be a witness as to Tricia's appearance?? Granted, we haven't seen her mom since shortly after the attack, but now that Brenna's thinking a bit more clearly, why can't she use that information? Good call on Brenna herself not really being able to recall, by the way, that's realistic.<br /><br />A couple more things about Ch 15: The "local man boneless" is new information to the public. One might say that's because it's new to the author, but there should also be a reason the news has that too. I'm guessing someone with a camera stumbled on the scene for the first time, as opposed to the other cases, where authorities got there faster? Second, why can't Brenna simply go down the beach to check the crime scene without Missy? If Missy heard about it, surely other people (ghosts?) are talking about it, and can point the way, or Missy can sketch a map. Worst comes to worst, look for the yellow police tape. Brenna's definitely shy about engaging with the plot.<br /><br />Fascinating little bit with the character renaming, by the way. Reminds me of how Carrie Waterson used to be Carrie Baker in my oldest text file.GregThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689711881670288362noreply@blogger.com
