       I'm noodling over the final "git commit murder" book, and there's a tidbit that keeps whispering to me but I will absolutely not use.In book 1 there's a tertiary character that's a blatant self-insert. He's setting, nothing more.For book 3, part of me wants to have that character return and immediately get killed. We go on to solve the other twisty murders but that guy's murder? It remains unsolved. Nobody remarks on it again. He's dead, and that's fine with everyone.Funny to me? Yes. Leaves the reader hanging? Also yes. Too meta, won't do it. (Mind you, Midsomer Murders does this crap all the time.)There! I've spoiled it! Maybe this will expunge the idea?

       @mwl Now you need to do it especially for people who've seen this toot... just so we're wondering throughout what twist you've put on it! Or if there's a twist?

       @mwl final? Surely you won’t retire Dale before he crosses paths with Aidan Redding. <insert joke about this being a stretch (goal) before tooting>
