No way is Bill guilty!

I’m pretty upset about what happened to Lucy Stone’s husband, Bill. Everyone in town knows he wouldn’t ever kill anyone and he wasn’t even known to have had a physical altercation with his friend that was murdered. It was a bum rap that unfortunately happens more than we’re aware of - innocents going to jail. The way the State Police busted into Lucy and Bill’s home was ridiculous, too. They made everyone hold up their arms, including Bill, Lucy, Zoe, and Patrick. Patrick? Really?! He’s 4! And they shoved their guns in Lucy’s face. It isn’t like Bill was resisting arrest or not cooperating, because he was. He went with the cops without a single what-the-heck-is-going-on? So not only is Patrick experiencing difficulties because he had to stay with his grandparent’s, Bill and Lucy for 4 months while his parents were in Haiti, but the trauma is really sealed because he saw his grandpa being led away in handcuffs and he was being screamed at by the cops! And guns were pointed in his grandparent’s face. Ugh it made me furious when that part came along. Of course it is discovered in the end that Bill was innocent, but the wounds that became scars are now left behind for everyone. And the all American store isn’t so perfect anymore, is it? You’ll have to read to find out what happened there! Tragic, very tragic. Next is Book 23 British Manor Murder.
