pickSeptember 29, 2025 TA-DA! I finally finished reading this book after a month. Off and on, reading bits and parts of the book. However, it seems as if halfway through the book sped up and I found myself turning page after page; wanting to find out what happens next. First it was Father K, next was Archbishop Dinwiddie, and after that, Jack (Hazel's partner), and Kenny (a friend of Hazel & Momo's husband). Luckily, Hazel did not die from injuries.
September 28, 2025 Page 263 | My thoughts jump to the Red-Letter Killer. He meant the poison for me. There's no question about that. But why? This case gets more bizarre by the minute. Me, Jack, Archbishop Dinwiddie, Father Kenneally, Fred Tweed. What do we have in common? At first, I was thinking it had to be the Catholic Church. Someone who was upset about the church refusing to pay the victims.
September 28, 2025 Page 223 | "Put yourself in my shoes. Imagine if everydah people were spending millions of dollars, running so ial media campaigns, television ads, direct mail pieces, telling everybody that Hazel Cho and C&S Investigations are trash. That you can't be trusted.... You're telling me you would sit there abd take it? Bullshit. Don't you think you'd want to fight back? To let people know that everything they're saying is a lie.
September 28, 2025 Page 208 | "Arika, I know your husband wasn't everyone's favorite, but was there anyone in particular who might wanted him dead? "No, not that I can think of. Well, there was this one -- She stops herself. I ease in closer to her. "One what?" .... "The only thing I noticed was that they wore a Yankees cap and a black medical mask."
September 28, 2025 Page 203 | "Mrs. Tweed, we're here beacuse we now believe that your husband's death may not have been an accident." She shrugs and takes another sip of her drink... "I saw that online. The Red Letter Killer. Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it? I can't say I'm surprised."
September 23, 2025 Page 166 | Sandy says, "Folks, Jack Powell talks a lot about public safety, but how is he aupposed to keep us safe when he can't even keep his own supporters alive?" Jack's mouth drops open. "What are you talking about?" Sandy smiles, "I'm talking about Fred Tweed, the Ponzi-scheme billionaire and donor of yours who is now dead. I'm talking about Father Sean Kenneally who is now dead." .... Those deaths were a tragedy.
September 23, 2025 Page 154-155 | "Let me get this straight. You were attempting to blackmail him?" "I guess you could say that. I thought I deserved over fifteen dollars an hour for keeping that shit secret. "But to be clear, the letter you delivered the night Kenneally died said what?" "It said, 'Give me five Gs, or I'll tell everyone about the sex parties' with an address and time to deliver the money."
September 19, 2025 Is Father Keneally a good guy? Bad guy? Is Sister Teresa involved in his murder? She was the last one to meet with him before he died. The archbishop keeps saying that Samuel is the one who put the red letter under Father K's door...
continued... Page 63 | " Can you tell us what was in the envelope you slid under Father K's door? The one from you to him?" His eyes return to the floor. " I don't know." "What do you mean, you don't know?" "Samuel, what was in the letter you dropped off?" "I can't say."
September 19, 2025 Page 60 | "Sam, you were about sixteen when you started working at Old St. Patrick's, if I have my math right. Did Father Kenneally ever do anything inappropriate to you?" His forehead scrunches. "Inappropriate?" Like touching me and shit? No, Father K wasn't like that." I notice his legs start to shake faster.
September 14, 2025 Page 19 | "It means that whoever did this is not your typical murderer. They're unusual. And now that I say it, I realize that is what is pushing me away from the case. The sense that something's off here. Like when you're walking home alone at night, and you turn down the wrong street and you know you're not safe.... I'm saying thag whoever killed Father Kenneally is still out there."
