Peeled; Chapters 3-4

Pages 22-41

In this part of the book, Hildy goes to court to get the lastest on the intrusion of the Ludlow House. The intrudor's name is Houston Bule. We don't find out much more about him except for his name. He tells the judge, Judge Forrester, that he was sent by his company, D&B Security, to see what they could do to try and secure the house better and prevent trespassers. He's kept in custody until they can find another suspect, Donny Lupo.

Hildy, later, finds out that a murder victim has been found on the Ludlow property, in the same general area where Ludlow died. Later on that night, Felix, Hildy's uncle, recieved a call from the sheriff. He informs Felix of the very little amount of details that they have found. He goes to lock the door, something that he hasn't done in years.

Everyone in the town is shaken up about the murder. It's the topic of the day during the Banesville Farmers Market day.

Lacey Horton's family, and many others, are having a hard harvest year. They might not be able to last for much longer...

Hildy is a character that I don't like as much anymore. She likes to talk about her ex-boyfriends a lot. When I am introduced to a new character in the book, she says that they're the mom/dad of her first, second, third, etc. ex. It's very annoying. If it's not that, she talks about how she used to like the son of that parent. She always has a story pertaining to that, and it doesn't seem to go with the story at all. This is also annoying because she is the person telling what's going on in the book.
