Louise, I may be way off base here but is Beagle the killer??

no... that would be too soap opera.  If you are looking for the "big picture" on this murder and what it means in the overall scheme, it is to bring back to Ellery some of the emotions of his college relationship and its turmoil, as well as the recent events with his being shot at, which is still sinking in.

I did some research on violent crime in Laramie, and there are about 30 homicides per year (just over two a month) and they were due for one, statistically.  Over half of those are by gunshot.

maybe I have.  It isnt a beret per se, it is an abbreviated cap.  Ennis just calls it a beret.  It is a little more formal than the brimmed hat which is also police wear.#

Yes, he certainly has been "in the flesh."  Is there anyone else here besides me that finds Ennis looking after his horses while stark naked to be somewhat titillating?

Way ahead of ya there Darlin!

We have only 18 voters in the poll and I know there are more than 18 people here. Go vote, go vote! Ennis and Ellery, They're Serious in the Polling Place.
