Not too soon after, the townspeople suspect who they call . What was Chases wifes alibi? Since the book is written in 3rd person, it wouldnt make sense for tate to pretend to be shocked since there is no audience there to see his reaction.

After the final scene in the movie pointing to Kya having killed Chase, I wondered about the relevance of the day he-the lawyer saw the two men hugging by the boat and his reaction afterwards seemed like something perplexed him but also left the feeling that he had found a missing puzzle piece.
