eye of the beholder
The theme of the book, Eye of the Beholder, by Jayne Ann Krentz, is to stop and take a breath before jumping to conclusions. Twelve years ago, Trask's father was killed in a car accident. He had driven his car off Avalon Point. Because of the sharp curve, this was not unusual. Everyone in town just believed that Trask's father was another fatality. Trask knew it was more. He believed his father's death was murder. Trask believed Kenyon had killed his father because of a business deal gone bad. Trask's father, Kenyon, and Guthrie had been working on the deal for months. Trask's father had found a problem and believed the plan would cause the men to go bankrupt. With this information, Trask's father decided to take his money and get out of the deal. Immediately after Trask found out about his father's death, he went to Kenyon's home. Trask went with his gun in hand. He wasn't sure of his own plans; he only knew that someone was going to pay for his father's death. Probably for the best of them all, Alexa walked into the room in time to see Trask pull out his gun. Trask left when Alexa got to the phone and threatened to call the police.

A few days went by. Alexa and Trask decided to have dinner again. This time they prepared and ate the dinner at Alexa's house. After dinner, Trask was sitting on the back porch when he heard a loud crash. Together, Alexa and Trask headed toward the sound of the accident. A car had gone over Avalon Point. It was Guthrie. The police took statements from Trask and Alexa. A week later, there was an article in the newspaper telling about the Dimension Institute scandal. Trask was looked upon as a hero to the town. Because of the new hotel and his relationship with Alexa, he decided he could stick around for a while. That night, they broke into Bell's office using a key they had found at Joanna's house. It didn't take long before they had found what they needed. There was a file with copies of Guthrie's will, Trask's father's will, and graphs so show what would be done with the money after the men died. Guthrie had killed Trask's father. Guthrie and Bell's plan was working ad almost complete. Bell had began to get greedy so he killed Guthrie. Both murders had worked out perfectly because of Avalon Point. Joanna also apologized for making the phone calls. She explained that the reason she had taken the pills was because she could handle the burden of it any longer.
