Following their problematic "Welcome" Sophie felt in need of immediate essential comfort.

2. An ongoing "issue" for the Town Council throughout the book is the painting of the water tower. What colour was it painted when Sophie and Amy first see it?

Or as Amy calls it "Flesh coloured".

3. Who provides soundtrack for the Dempseys' lives?

6. Phin Tucker plays many games of pool throughout the book; his opinions of others are based on their style of play. Who is the only opponent to defeat him in the course of the book?

Answer: Sophie Dempsy

Phin's pool table is located in his book store. Many games were played but I don't remember one book sold.

7. When nervous what does Sophie quote?

Answer: Movies

Unfortunately the only time Phin knows it's a quote is when it is also a quote from a book.
Sophie "That's Johnny Depp. Who's Hunter S Thompson?"
Phin " Author. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Great book. Who's Johnny Depp?"
Sophie " Actor. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Mediocre movie."

8. What caused Zane Black's death?

Answer: Heart attack

Zane is found with all these injuries plus Mace to the eyes and bruises to the throat. He was run over by a truck and a car after he died. It seemed everybody in town decided to get even on the same night!

9. Zane's missing money is in whose possession at the end of the book?

Answer: Davy Dempsey

Although Clea stole the bank book whilst Zane lay "fibrillating" on the dock, Davy wire transferred it to another account while she was talking to the police. Clea does get the money back with interest, but that is a story for another book.

Answer: Faking It

Tilda Goodnight is almost as much fun as Sophie and you get to meet Michael, the Dempseys' father.
Thank you for taking my quiz. This is my first; I may try again with another of Jennifer Crusie's fun books.
