I agree with Jane and Nancy. I couldn’t picture Connie wiping the fingerprints off the crime scene like Brody did. The other thing I couldn’t see Connie doing is having an affair with his brother’s wife. I think Connie has too much guilt about harming his wife with his second hand smoke that I couldn’t see him putting his wants and needs ahead of his brother’s. I’m not saying Brody doesn’t value his family relationships (it’s clear he loves them all), but at the beginning of the novel he is emotionally removed from them. I liked how both of the men emotionally heal through the new relationships they make.
