K says, “So, my question for you was, do you think it was a cop-out that even though there were a ton of LGB characters in the book, some of whom were main characters, the only sex scene we saw occuring on camera was straight?”
J says “I don’t know about a copout, but it was disappointing.”
J says “I wonder if it gets any better in HaPenny.”
J says “I don’t see any reason at all why we couldn’t have a scene with.. was it Carmichael? And Jack?”
J says “It was frustrating this guy got talked about, and he was fairly important to one of the pov character’s life and we never saw him at all.”
K mms. “Well, that happens in mysteries where the main action takes place away from the character’s home. I don’t know if the next one takes place in London or not, but it wouldn’t make sense for him to have gone off to the country with Jack in tow.”
J says “No, but he went back to London, and I’m pretty sure there was one night there at least where he was home.”
K says, “Yeah, that is true. And we did see Royston’s house kinda.”
J says “Yup. His daughter twice.”
K says, “It does seem a bit odd. Perhaps it does get better in Ha’Penny, though that’s no excuse for not having this be a more fully stand-alone novel than it actually turned out to be.”
J says “Yea.”
