Has Nelson inadvertently put Ruth at risk from David, with the questions he asked?

Yes but hopefully nothing will come of it.

I hope not. Ruth is generally smart enough to avoid traps.

Most definitely put her at risk, needed to handle this more sensitively in some way or another to avoid this happening. Should have possibly got it off Troy and then could have said they’d learnt from Troy… thereby protecting Ruth more. Ruth is usually at risk at some point in these books.

Yes, bad move on his part. He’s smart enough to be able question him without revealing a source.

>5 bluebird_: I agree.

>4 Andrew-theQM: Agree. Nelson should not have put Ruth at risk by running off to ask David about the conversation on the boat.
