I thought the way he was killed was the most unsatisfactory part of the novel. It seemed like the author took the easy way out.Dael Reader wrote: ↑09 Oct 2018, 20:09 Yes, she did the right thing by alerting the authorities. McDowell was an escaped convicted felon. Failing to alert the authorities would essentially be aiding and abetting. And since she didn't know exactly what he was convicted for, she smartly alerted the authorities, rather than taking the risk of turning a blind eye to the presence of a potentially dangerous criminal. She had no way of knowing what he was truly capable of or what he might have done next.
