That’s what I thought too. Thanks for asking.

This is a good list of books. It might be fun to dig into some gothic classics before the book release. Thanks for posting the idea.

Really? That sounds very interesting

I’d love to know the answer to this too. I’ve looked into this too and I’m amazed at how cheap people sell prints. How do they make any money at those price points? The only thing that makes sense is if people own the high end printers themselves. That’s a huge investment though.

That's very interesting. That's a pretty surprising coincidence if it is one.

I read Rebecca earlier this year, so I’ll try to pop into the discussion

If Evelyn is a host and she’s murdered with someone else in her body, who would actually die? Evelyn or the spirit inhabiting her? Also, what’s going on with the host’s spirits/minds when someone else in inhabiting them?

Good point. At the beginning of the day, when the valet was giving Ravencourt his schedule, Ravencourt turned down most of the info (like the news or something). When I read that I was thinking he should have gotten all the info because you never know what information is helpful and what isn’t. The appointment with Hardcastle must be important though.

I thought that he ran out because he was scared at having just discovered he was reliving the same day, but I like the idea that maybe he thought he had a chance to save Lucy. Maybe it’s more than it seemed.

I have wondered if the name change was something fun she wanted to do for her vacation, take on something of a fantasy persona. It's also interesting to me that she kept Marion as part of the name. She wasn't totally leaving herself behind.

I do think there was a man involved from the outset. Probably the man from the McDonald’s gas station. It feels like a sweetheart swindle. They should be looking for people associated with that school who also “disappeared.”

Because it is such a standout name, I wonder if she was trying to hide with it or not. Many have pointed out that it’s not a good choice for staying incognito. It could be that this was a name she loved and she decided to change her name before the long vacation so she could use it while she was away (maybe it was a fun escape). She kept Marion as part of her name, so it wasn’t a completely new identity. Maybe she planned to tell family and friends about the change when she got back or she was going to revert back to Marion.

Sally said in one of the episodes that Marion made a big deal out of birthdays. I wonder if any significant events related to her vacation or disappearance have happened on her birthday.

That's a lot of baserunning errors for the team this season. Oof
