Excellent chapter. It was hilarious! Wayne is definitely a good hearted bad boy.

Chapter 45 Spoiler!




.......The boys are right.   Ellery does NOT need to see Bruce Eagleton & Rudy on that tape!    That'll push him right over the edge and jeapardize his relationship with Ennis.     Switching tapes would have been the wise thing to do.   Erasing part of the tape will only lead to suspicions as to what was there.   And Ellery would go to great lengths to find out.

You are so right. He is a detective after all.

However, I think that Dupree should have stuck to his guns. However upset Ellery might have been about the content of the tape, I think that he will be furious if he finds out part of it was wiped to hide the content from him.

Ooo... interested to see where this one leads. Louise, you do love to keep us guessing.

okay.... I admit it.

GAH!  Can't anyone in this whole freaking town EXIST for more than an hour without having to call Ellery on the phone or come banging on his door???

It's gotten better, actually. There was a time if he got far enough through dinner without a phone call, Ellery would leap up and call someone...LOL

PS, Lori...go post the pretzel/rolo/pecan snackies recipe over on the Holiday Recipes thread that Marge_Innavera started (on Anything Goes). Yum!

Oh my word! Got quite some mental images going on here! Thank you Louise!  ;D

Methinks that Ellery should have given Dupree time to finish what he was trying to say.

 I don't think they should erase the tape, I don't think Jeremy should have let some sleasy bar flies dictate against what he knows is right.  Lying to Ellery will NOT help anything and will destroy trust.
Lauren isn't helping either.

Ellery already knows that Beagle was with Rudy, he may not like it, but  he has already faced that demon and now that Beagle is no longer calling him or close---he has already talked it through with Ennis and cried about it-I can't see this having any real affect on his relationship with Ennis--he can handle the tape without erasures---he is going to go ballistic when he finds out that it has been tampered with, a whole lot worse than seeing Beagle in my opinion.

Jeremy is playing with fire, and he should have bagged and tagged as is---I am hoping he changes his mind and that is what he does in the end.

AND if that copy Wayne made ever surfaces, he can kiss his bar priviledges goodbye, he really is a slease ball. YYEEWWW!!! And I never liked Gene.    I wanted to like Chas, but now am not so sure.
