I'm curious as to why Casey would contemplate going to work on a fishing boat for weeks at a time, leaving his wife working for this very man for whom he has misgivings about working for himself, particularly considering that he is aware of Hagerty's lust toward Pamela. I don't understand why he wouldn't want to get her out of that situation as well, rather than leaving her there to fend for herself. He's been approached by the Feds, he knows he's involved with a mbster, who wants to get his wife in bed, and most likely is trying to get rid of him according to the recent evidence pertaining to the dead prostitute. I just cannot see why he would think going away and leaving his wife alone in that environment would help matters. -- Cindy's Cottage

Let's see if I can explain the reasoning behind this in a coherent fashion. I know I'll go long, so I'm going to tuck this response inside- also going inside in case someone else wants to take a stab at answering Tess' question, without knowing what my reasoning for the storyline is>>> -- celtgirl (), 11:11:15 07/29/09 Wed
- Thanks for the explication. I'm somewhere about chapter 18 in the book currently....Flip's just entered the picture. Anyway...I reckon I was voicing frustrations at the way Casey handles this situation, which have, as you say, disastrous consequences. While I do see that he's out of his element, I don't necessarily think he is out of character. He has had a tendency to fail to realize when someone he cares about is in need of his protection. He does have the tendency on occasion to be a bit dense and completely misinterpret things. Bah...but that's where it gets fun, aye? (NT) -- Tess, 12:20:40 07/29/09 Wed
  - Yes, indeed. If the characters didn't make questionable choices, there wouldn't be much drama in the story, hence they occasionally do things that make the reader think, 'what the heck are you thinking?' (NT) -- celtgirl, 13:17:03 07/29/09 Wed
