Help the characters
Would a more defined participation of the supporting characters in the story make the main one, Hillary become less important or would that make her stand out better?

Yes, and I don't know if the author wanted him to be absent or this is just as it came out, sort of she forgot about him, being too focused on the activity of the wife.

I agree with the first part of what you said: "what seems to be good may be bad", I thought about it too, that it was a strategy. There wasn't any vice versa though. Perhaps it would have been alright, or at least symmetrical.

Indeed, rather contradictory and less than plausible. And the man is a detective, no less. One thing the couple managed to do in this book: they got pregnant. . Not easy with him away most of the time.camwilliams wrote: ↑11 Mar 2020, 12:22 I would agree with what seems to be the popular opinion here. I liked what I got to see of Ed and Hillary's relationship. They really seem to love and care for each other. But as the book continued they see less and less of each other. Based upon Ed's personality, I find it hard to believe that he would leave Hillary or Claire by themselves to go to a seminar after Bridget's death, and definitely not after Sarah's death.

Indeed. The plot would have taken a different turn, had she lived. Perhaps she would have set Seamus straight.kmittag67 wrote: ↑15 Mar 2020, 17:43 I was intrigued by Bridget's character. She was a strong presence with a fierce, compassionate and loving personality. I would have enjoyed having her for a lengthier period of time in the storyline. Of course, once she is murdered, I would still miss her. The novel was a delight to read. I just wish there was more of Bridget.
