HOC: 280
Not too much in the way of words but LOTS and LOTS of plotting. I figured out some really important stuff about the killer’s victims, his disposition of the bodies. I figured out the relationship history of the hero, how he spent the ten years or so between when he last saw the heroine and the present. I figured out one of the ways in which the killer is going to toy with the heroine’s head, and how that particular thing is going to help frame the hero. I figured out how the hero’s ex-wife is going to sort of be a mirror for the heroine. It’s all coming together neatly with a lot more logic and thought to the connections of the various aspects of the plot than in the first draft. So all in all a good day’s work. I’m pleased.
