That too!! I mean this is one of the cons of reading too much spy novels and detective stories, it makes your mind suspicious of everything the author has written.

Mmm, you are onto something. I never actually thought about that. I think he was in it for the thrill in the beginning but fell for her eventually. The care and respect he showed her is one you cannot easily fake.Anna Maria 86 wrote: ↑05 Feb 2019, 01:09Weird, I never really had a red flag moment, I just didn't trust the guy. But I guess you are right, for such a shy bloke to chat up a girl like that, he must have sensed a victim type in her. Only now did it get me thinking, why he never hurt Fanny? Do you think he was in love? No, or do you? Or was she just a cover to maybe push any suspisions away from himself?Ever_Reading wrote: ↑05 Feb 2019, 00:58 At one point, I suspected Johnny. But, I always had a bad feeling about Matt. Oddly enough, it was how he easily charmed Fanny that raised a red flag for me. Granted, Fanny was in a bad space after her husband's death. But still, Matt was a bit too smooth for my liking.

I thought initially that she was just a cover to puh any suspicions but then he really fell for her. Can't really cover those caring gestures up.Anna Maria 86 wrote: ↑05 Feb 2019, 01:09 Weird, I never really had a red flag moment, I just didn't trust the guy.
