Hi Nonny,

I completely agree. I don't typically like blaming others either. I think this is the first time I've taken a stance like this, but there are so many things that if done differently could have prevented another murder.

Leaving Bas alone was the wrong call on so many levels. I almost wish that if you skipped the diamond scene Bas didn't die.
