Thanks, y'all! Love getting that feedback. Makes me think I should leave more for other FOLCs' stories, though.
HappyGirl: Glad you liked the chapter. Every story needs some exposition and review once in a while, especially the longer ones, if for no other reason than to remind the author what's going on.
Toni didn't want them talking to the cops without a lawyer because of her family's history. They never talk to the police without an attorney present. What she said was correct, but her motives weren't exactly pure.
As for Clark not thinking of Johnny as a suspect, remember that he was a bit bumfuzzled when Christie was singing on stage and probably wouldn't have noticed Johnny's reaction. While Johnny seems to be a logical choice, it's still a reach for a guy to whack his girlfriend, even if he is as unstable as Johnny Taylor.
Woody: Which is it, a great movie or a great book? Either way, you've given me a tremendous compliment. Thank you.
And would I toy with my readers? Who, me?
Michael: I don't do WAFFy all that well, so you can expect the murder mystery to play out for most of the rest of the story. But that's not the only thing that happens, I promise.
Next chapter up soon!
