Im pretty surprised with the way Joanna felt towards Marliss Shackleford. Its like she had so much animosity towards her. In this selection it said ""I tried to tell Marliss that very thing, that she had to be mistaken, but you know her." "Hitting Marliss Shackleford over the head with anything sounded like an excellent idea to Sheriff Joanna Brady about then, but she fought down a biting comment that could have turned into additional ammunition.
The author intended for the reader to feel just as hurt as Joanna due to the fact that certain people didnt attend the funeral. She felt a little betrayed. This was organized chronologically in a story type setting.

Reaction: Shocked at how passionate Joanna is. She felt the need to inform Bobo on Rochelle's death because she didn't him to find out in an unpleasant way. Joanna went to delivery the displeasing news to Bobo & after she told him, he told her about he saw her the night before she died. They were suppose to go out for dinner but she cancelled on him. He went over anyways just to see her & really find out why she cancelled. Sheriff Joanna Brady also told him about Dede not only continuing with the gallery but also increasing the prices of her paintings. That infuriated Bobo & he stormed out his housing, quickly went down the hills, & swiftly made his way towards Dede's place of business. He seemed angry enough to punch someones lights out so Joanna headed there & asked for backup. Bobo arrived & a big altercation began & Warren felt the need to bring out a hammer to scare Bobo. Surprisingly Joanna appeared & settled the situation down. Honestly I believe Dede wasnt the greatest friend if she's willing to sell her "friends" paintings for more money without the consent of her loved ones. When Bobo called Dee a "Money-grubbing bitch who doesnt know a damned thing about what's important" I didnt care for her feelings & agreed with him. She was definitely murdered. Rochelle was not sick, someone wanted her dead. Probably Warren or Dee.

Authors Intent & Organization: The author J.A. Jance intended for the reader to infer that Rochelle's death wasnt a suicide or a natural cause from sickness. Someone killed her. At the end of Chapter 4 it says "It's you. You'll be happy to know it's done. She's dead. All you have to do now is send money." There were many types of organization patterns represented in this selection. Cause & effect was shown by the actions of Bobo. Chronological was shown through the whole thing to show a smooth going of the story being told.
