Sounds like the work of Cornelious Kellogg.  The notorious "Cereal" killer!     ROFLOL  :laugh:

I guessed Bruce, but then realized his father had said he was back in the hospital.  Then, I was stumped.  Louise, you're a great mystery writer too, besides showing us the process and story of true love developing.

I'll bet you're talking about "Map of the World."

That's the one! I listen to BBM Radio at work so I hear it periodically during the day.
New music in my life is another gift from BBM.

I have some questions to throw out there ...

What became of Jim?
Who were the men who came to the bar looking for him? and why were they hunting him down?
What else are the Worrells hiding? 
Who killed poor Willie Wilkes??

Hmmm.... ???

Looking at that picture makes me think, David...that trailer was such a dump, and now we have Ennis cleaning, vacuuming, making the bed. Was he really Mr. Neat and Tidy beforehand?

He cleans up for the ones he loves??  (i.e. not Alma, perhaps not himself, but definitely Jack and Ellery?)

That's funny. I had the same vision of those two dancing as I was listening to some music.

The song that started me thinking about it so much was "The Two Cowboy Waltz" or, in this case, One cowboy and one deputy darlin'.  :)
