Hmmmm....I didn't get to Dupree yet...
I am still enjoying the first half of "Looking for answers"...
So you guys -  don't say too and ruin it for me... ;D

um, um. How do I say this?  This guy is way too young looking!  He is pretty but... I picture Ellery was the 30ish Keith Carradine.  and I promised to dig out pics, so let me do that.

Realistically...(other readers, join in with me here)...would there really be such a thing as a one bedroom home? Out there in the great big west? And, Ellery isn't right downtown, either. Louise, I think the house has to have two bedrooms at a minimum (one that Ellery has converted to an office), maybe three

Not to quibble, Louise, but ahem, the canon of "Taking Chances," chapter 13: Scenes of the Crime

"the deputy's long strides suddenly halted before a dark blue Chevy El Camino parked along the street..."

Good thing you have fans to research things for you  ;)

Okay, so that gives us more reason to go find more pictures....  ;)

about the bedrooms... that is just how I picture it... I don't know enough about that part of the country to know whether they made homes with "only" one bedroom, I lived in Arizona in a two bedroom rancher in a tract housing and they did have one bedroom ones there... I dunno.  I suppose I didn't want an excuse for Ennis to set up housekeeping in a separate room, so there is one big ol' bedroom.  Maybe he knocked in a wall and made the two bedrooms into one large one?  hehehe

And you got me on the El Camino... I did say I THOUGHT it was red!

And eek!  You guys got rules on what you can post on this board?

I'm picturing a Military style haircut, dark hair,  classic good looks, broad shoulders and a serious chest.  He of course works out alot.    But not TOO built.    Maybe 6 feet tall at the most.

Dupree's description is "beefy." (I looked this up when someone proposed the skinny-as-hell Paul Bettany for the part.)  I did not specify eye color but he is nearly as tall as our two guys (so at least 6' 1") and on his time off favors military cammo and a soft field cap.  Hair very close cropped, color brown.

Okay, sorry to ruin you guys' dreams but here is what I have in my mind's eye for Ellery's appearance:



(that is a younger photo)



(with of course longer hair).
