Love the timeline Kristen! You rock! Using the timeline, it'll help other posters follow along with my theories about Corrine and her

passive-aggressive mind games behind that deceptively sweet face.

Wednesday: the night of the fundraiser where Eva meets Corrine for the first time.

My theory: Corrine's showed up unannounced because she'd finally steeled herself to meet Eva. She was surprised to learn Eva didn't even know about her existence. On the spot, she decided to start messing with Eva's mind by making it seem Gideon had something to hide. But Corrine was in for a  of a shock herself that night when Gideon ran after Eva. 

 

Thursday: the next day and day one of Reflected in You.

My theory: Corrine showed up unannounced at the Crossfire building because of what happened the night before. She started chasing Gideon in person, because she now knew Eva was the ultimate threat to her getting him back. Corrine never got past the lobby because Gideon was busy upstairs. He was fighting with Nathan, we now know based on something Sylvia posted. Being in the lobby, Corrine would have plenty of time to spot Eva returning from lunch -- and time to make herself look like she was leaving after a nooner upstairs with Gideon.

Fast forward to That Week, starting with the Monday Cary was still in the hospital.

My theory: It was either that day or late the night before Gideon learned it had been Nathan who almost beat Cary to death. From something Sylvia posted, Gideon felt the risk to Eva had gotten too dangerous. So he immediately started laying the ground work for his cover story of leaving Eva for Corrine in order to protect Eva and buy time for him to kill Nathan. He took Corrine to dinner that Monday night, making sure they got photographed. Then on Thursday, he took Corrine to the party. Did he lie to Corrine that he cared for her (Corrine)? I think NOT. He was at his coldest, closed self - especially that Thursday night, when he committed premeditated murder. Think of how closed off he's acted toward Eva those few days. He'd have had no problem keeping Corrine at arm's length, but Corrine was so desperate she put up with it.

Fast forward a week from the following Monday, when Eva spots Gideon escorting Corrine to his car.

My theory: Why was Corrine even at the Crossfire with Gideon? For the benefit of the security cameras in the lobby - Gideon

continuing to put on a show for the cops. Eva had left for the day shortly before, and Gideon thought the coast was clear. But rather than heading right home, Eva went around the corner to buy chocolate and was unexpectedly walking back toward Crossfire when Gideon and Corrine emerged. Corrine climbed into the car without seeing Eva, but Gideon spotted Eva. One of my favorite

parts of the whole book was Eva flipping Gideon the bird. Go girl!

Tuesday, the next morning: this is the morning that Eva showed up unannounced at Corrine's.

My theory: Seeing Corrine with Gideon the evening before prompted Eva to finally confront her. I'm convinced Corrine was alone. She wouldn't have been so stupid to sleep with Christopher, and Gideon sure as wasn't there. She simply kept Eva waiting downstairs those 20 minutes to let Eva think she'd been in the middle of morning sex with Gideon. This was Corrine's ultimate gambit, and she lost when Eva didn't fall for it.

So what's next?

 

From the recent snippets Sylvia has posted, and some of the comments Sylvia has made since then, in Entwined, Gideon

and Eva will be forced to see one another in secret. My theory is that the cops have NOT dropped the investigation - in fact, they've laid a trap for Gideon with Eva as the bait. Sooooo does this mean Gideon keeps up the public act of being with Corrine? And what stunts will Corrine pull? The stakes have gone up again for Corrine, because she failed to trick Eva into believing Gideon was sleeping with her - yet. 

LN I agree with almost everything you have posted... thanks for confirming some of my thoughts. I think Eva and Gideon are still lawing low, although how the police intend to entrap them is beyond me. Gideon would have to confess to Eva that he killed Nathan and then she would have to be willing to testify. I don't see her being willing to do that. They could threaten her with an obstruction charge, but Richard (nevermind Gideon) is never letting that charge stick. They have money and power, and attorneys on speed dial, those charges would probably be dismissed quick.

 

I do think Corrine is going to continue to be a thorn in their side. I would like to believe that Eva is strong enough in her relationship with Gideon to realize that he still doesn't want Corrine, but who knows. My other concern is Brett. We know he's coming back, but for what? Okay I know for what, but how does that play out with Gideon and Eva.

 

As far as my comment about the records being unsealed now that Nathan is dead. Yes they are unsealed, but Eva's identity should remain confidential. Most victims of a crime like rape have their identity protected, but when you are a minor that is especially true.

"It felt like years since I’d last been with him, instead of a mere hour."

This has to be the same day/right after the last scene in RIY. There will probably be a scene in between that'll (hopefully) explain why they can't see each other. It obviously has to do with the case, but something more detailed will be provided...I hope.

June 4th does suck, but it is what is. If SD had a choice, I'm sure she'd like to release it sooner, but she's been incredibly polite and patient with everyone regarding this release date. it will be worth the wait. Sylvia has tweeted that it was a publisher's decision and that this date is more or less set in stone.

Prosecutors in some states (New York is one) and in some federal grand jury proceedings can compel a witness to testify by forcing a form of immunity on him/her. Normally, someone who knows something about a crime cannot be forced to testify, because to do so might incriminate the witness himself/herself. The Fifth Amendment "Right to Silence" means cops/prosecutors cannot force us to make statements that incriminate ourselves and then later use what we say against us in court.

 

However .... behind closed doors in some grand jury proceedings, a prosecutor can force an immunity condition on a witness that compels him/her to testify about what he/she knows about a crime someone else committed. Anything that witness says cannot be used against him/her (the witness) - this is the immunity part. But the testimony can be used against the suspect. That's the whole point of this form of immunity forcing a witness to testify against someone else in a way that gets around the witness' own ability to invoke the right to silence. If a witness is hauled before a grand jury in this manner and still refuses to testify anyway, even though he/she is compelled to do so, that witness can be held in contempt of court, or even charged with obstruction of justice - and be sent to jail.

 

Yes, if the prosecution pulled something like this on Eva, Stanton would bring in high power lawyers to fight it tooth and nail. But there's no guarantee Eva's lawyers would succeed. And if they didn't, she could go to jail herself if she still insisted on keeping her mouth shut. In a murder case, that would be pretty likely, jailing a witness for obstruction. Gideon would never let her end up behind bars, even if the only alternative would be for he himself to confess to the cops and ultimately plead guilty. 

 

Obviously, I'm just spinning theories here. But I'm convinced the cops have laid a trap for Gideon using Eva as the bait. They convinced her Gideon killed Nathan hoping she would run back to Gideon and he would confess to her it's true. But an alternative Gideon and Eva have is to continue to act like he had nothing to do with it and still wants nothing to do with her any longer. He simply dumped her to run back to his former fiance, there's no way he would kill for her if he never even loved her, and that it was pure coincidence Nathan ended up murdered, killed by someone else with reason for wanting him dead (like Stanton).

 

The reason I like my theory is the fact it's apparent in the glimpses we've seen of Entwined that Gideon and Eva are forced to see one another in secret - that publicly Gideon is continuing to keep up the act he's done with her, and now she is acting like she really is done with him too.

I can't believe the release date got pushed again tho...shouldn't it have been ready if it was supposed to be released in Dec? I don't get  it lol. I don't think I would have started the series if I knew it wasn't complete. Hopefully a happy ending!

In the first book the cuff links are significant because when she first meets Gideon, he is in a three piece suit, and she notices the cuff links that he wears which makes her think how rich he must be, and the second book cover, it's not dog tags, it's a key fob, with his initials on it, and remember, she went to a store at one time to run an errand in reflected in you, but it didn't say what it was, and then later, she gives him back the key to her apartment. I don't know much about that UK covers, but that's what I am getting from the US covers.

The key fob with his initials, shown on the cover of Reflected in You, is important. Read the first paragraph of the New Year's teaser, http://www.sylviaday.com/2012/12/31/special-teaser-years/  For those of you who have not read this yet, it is the exact same scene as the excerpt we got yesterday - but the New Year's one has the scene from Gideon's point of view, telling us what's going on in his head.

 

Because Sylvia said it's OK to post the New Year's page link but "Permission is NOT granted to re-post this content anywhere, so please don’t do it"  I won't post the text of first paragraph verbatim. But it boils down to that key fob, a gift to him from Eva, is very important to him.

 

So a luggage tag, the cover picture for Entwined With You, would indicate that travel is going to be part of the plot. Happily ever after off into the sunset? Or running away together? We will get some sort of happy ending, of that I'm sure. Go back and read the final chapters of Bared to You and Reflected in You. In both, the books end with Eva and Gideon overcoming some obstacle that threatened to keep them apart forever.

Yes they appear to be hiding still, but how long with that go on for? We know how jealous Eva is, and I understand why it was necessary but the last 35% of RIY killed me with them being apart and Eva seeming so broken. I'm just also wondering if Eva and Gideon will ever talk about him killing Nathan. She knows he's done it, and he knows she knows so if that's as far as it goes, then what could she possibly have to testify to? I guess I am just really hoping their time apart is minimal, and that we can get to the bottom of Gideon's issues.

I think we are all equally upset about the date change. It is what it is though.

You'll get your HEA. Sylvia is a romance writer and has already said they will have their happy ending. She is as invested in these characters as we are, and wants them to work on their issues and find their way together.

Gideon did NOT sleep with Corrine. Of that, I'm convinced.

As for the cops, they've been unable to break his alibi about being at the hotel, even though they've tried repeatedly. Detective Graves told Eva as much. But she (Graves) also knows Gideon's act of leaving Eva to run back to Corrine was just that -- all an act. Graves saw Gideon's face when he was on the phone with Eva as Eva dumped him, how utterly devastated he was. (It was really stupid of him to answer his cell phone at the police station - he ended up giving himself away.)

The detective's supposed motive for talking to Eva was "so you could go back to him." Caught off guard, Eva foolishly thanked

Detective Graves. Graves wasn't being nice. She was setting a trap, I think - a trap to trick Eva into going Gideon and him confessing to Eva it's all true, he did kill Nathan. Then the police would try to force Eva to testify Gideon confessed, maybe try to haul her before a grand jury, force an immunity deal onto her and leave her one of two choices: testify about what Gideon told her, or go to jail herself for obstruction of justice. The cops have zero evidence physical evidence linking Gideon to the murder, and they can't break his alibi. Their only hope left is a confession. He'd never confess to them. So they want to lure him into confessing to someone else - to Eva.

 

Hi everyone, my name is GiGi and this is my first posting on this website. I have to say I absolutely love Sylvia Day's books. With that said, I wanted to respond to a few things you mentioned.

1. Eva is already represented by a lawyer. Her dad made sure of that when the detectives first came to question Eva about the murder. Therefore she cannot be subsequently questioned without legal counsel present. That legal privilege remains in place and will stand during the duration of the investigation or until the case is resolved.

2. There is no statute of limitations when it comes to a murder case. Therefore that case will remain open and unsolved, until law enforcement finds the person who committed the crime. I agree that the detective wouldn't sweep a murder under the rug.

3. Due to the fact that the police has no evidence against Gideon and that he has given a complete statement, the police cannot continue to question Gideon. It would then violate his constitutional rights. Unless the police has the probable cause that avenue of questioning is now a dead end. The only hope that the police have is to see if Gideon and Eva are together or apart, which it appears that they are now apart.

4. I think as far as the murder of Nathan is concerned, if Gideon did commit the murder, he did not do it alone. My money is on Victor. Who else but a long standing ex-law enforcement officer would know the inns and outs of how to commit a crime without leaving evidence behind or would know how to stage a crime scene.

If Eva's dad was any good at his job, red flags would have been raised when detectives showed up at her doorstep to question her about a murder. I do not believe for one second that Victor would not have noticed when Eva lost all her colour, stumbled and nearly passed out. My bet would be that as soon as all the hoopla settled down for the night, Victor would have been on his cell phone calling one of his colleagues who are still in the "business" to find out about this Nathan character. Or he could possibly contacted Monica about the incident. I simply do not think that this issue is cut and dry. I do not believe that Gideon would drag other people into this mess and I most certainly do not believe that he would tell Eva exactly what his plans were and how he went about planning and staging the murder of Nathan. I do not believe that he would firstly want to burden Eva with that kind of information and secondly I do not believe that he would provide evidence that could possibly put Eva in a situation where she might be forced to testify against him.

5. As for Gideon answering the phone at the police station, it lends to his credibility of having stated that he and Eva were broken up. I do not believe that he looked devastated in the least. It would behove him to remain calm and passive, as he had stated earlier to the detectives that he and Eva had broken up and as was witnessed on the surveillance footage from The Cross Towers. It was Eva who wore her emotions all of her face when she and Gideon were on the "outs-or so she thought" which is why her statement was so believable.

Those are just my thoughts. I look forward to everyone's comments and the discussion.

Hi LN,

There is one thing I think everyone forgets about these cases. The detectives notes are not sealed and all a person would need to do is look to see who the detective was on that case. A detective always gets to keep his/her notes. Even after a law enforcement officer retires, they keep their notes. A police officer/detective, lawyer, etc. could simply ask the detective who investigated the initial complaint who the victim was in that case and could get around the "rape shield law", which quite frankly isn't worth the paper it has been written on (meaning that there have been so many challenges made to that law that is has more holes in it than swiss cheese).

I also just thought of something else. If Gideon and Eva get married, can a spouse be forced to testify against his/her partner? My thought is no. Does spousal priviledge not apply? Those are just my thoughts. I look forward to the discussion. Thanks.

I agree with ya, but when the police left Eva went to her bedroom & locked door, now he's my thinking..when Gid. came back in Eva was in her room.. so Victor was or so I think maybe he was feeling feel to ask Gid. all about this and who knows what was talked about then. My thoughts!  :)

Also when Nathan died the all that happened to Eva and Nathan those files were unsealed, or so I believe. But I also don't have the knowledge about such things. We will see in the next book, so can't wait for EYI! :) By the way welcome to the group GiGi   :)

GiGi you're absolutely right about "spousal privilege" making it almost impossible for prosecutors to force a person to testify against his/her husband or wife. In fact one of my Entwined theories is that Gideon and Eva are going to elope for that very reason as the cops try to close in. Thus the luggage tag. I can't wait until June to see if I'm right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Detective notes are not public documents; indeed, they're closely guarded secrets. Ask any journalist who covers the crime beat (I used to be one) who tries to get detailed information about a case, especially a murder, in its early stages. There is something known as a affidavit, which often become public once a suspect is arrested and then arraigned in court . Those aren't the same thing as detective notes. An affidavit is a basic summary about why the prosecution believes it has enough evidence to charge the accused and bring him/her to trial.

Detectives never destroy their notes, especially homicide detectives and most especially in "open" cases  (that is, a case in which no arrest has been made.) When Detective Graves said to Eva "I burned my notes" it confirmed my suspicion Graves was lying through her teeth. Cops can and do lie to trick suspects and sometimes witnesses. Fair? No. But they'll do what it takes, short of committing crimes themselves (entrapment), to try to bring someone to justice.

As for all the old sealed court records in the seven-million dollar civil lawsuit Nathan's father settled with Monica because his son raped her daughter, the police would have subpoenaed them and gotten copies quite easily, copies they've got tucked away with the rest of the stuff in their investigation files. That does not mean the court records are now unsealed and anyone can go to the courthouse to view them as public records. Someone (usually a news organization) would have to fight to convince a judge to unseal.

If -- IF -- Gideon were charged with murder, his defense team gets copies of everything in the detectives'/prosecution's files, per his constitutional rights (Sixth Amendment) to face his accusers. Facing an accuser means getting to see every piece of evidence the prosecution has against a defendant. But that doesn't automatically those files public either. In fact, the last thing the defense wants is copies of every last incriminating thing being thrown at their client being public (and thus all over the news.) Only if there is a trial and something in the files gets introduced into evidence does that thing become public.

 

One last thing - even if the detectives might feel that maybe what Gideon did was justifiable homicide, they don't get to drop the case. It's up to the prosecution (district attorney's office) whether or not to drop it. And a case like this would be irresistible to an ambitious prosecutor wanting the limelight. A famous billionaire whose father escaped justice for a Ponzi scheme by killing himself? The billionaire son now accused of an even worse crime, first degree murder? And the motive for the murder being because the victim was a rapist terrorizing the woman the defendant loves? Good lord, outside the courthouse would look like NASA, there would be so many satellite trucks lined up from networks covering the case.

June 4th, no way...what happen to May 7th? So sad :(

 

 

Me too! This is getting so frustrating. As much as I love the snippets, I feel like I'm going to have read the whole book by the time it finally comes out. I've actually refrained from reading the last 2. It's killing me, but I want surprises when I finally get to read it, not just a bunch of strung together sections I already know. 

 

I realize a lot of it is surely the publisher and distributor, but June will be how long? 7-8 months since the previous release?

 

My Gideon buzz is wearing off!
