 Rick Johnson? Who? (Ch. 7) Flowers' friend is Johnson Johnson, named after the boat motor company. And then a Rick Johnson "from the U." pops up again a few pages later as part of the Ground Penetrating Radar team.

Went on way too long and I must have missed all of Roger's combat/fight/boxing training. Why is Letty on a case with Lucas? Why is Letty allowed in on the discussion? Why is Letty even taken seriously? Why is Letty, a rising college freshman, stepping in as Lucas' emotional support, as a wife would? Weather has proven herself perfectly capable of supporting Lucas, cops, and the wives of cops before. Let Letty stay home and take care of her siblings and Del & Cheryl's kid and send Weather down. What a crappy thing to do with a strong female character--throw her over for a younger model with daddy issues.
