I would think whatever she finds in a newspaper the police would already know about. If she does find something in a newspaper, that would take her to the police. I want her to go to the castle!

I can't wait to read more! She definitely needs to go to the castle. Checking newspapers would be very intriguing. What will she find there? hmmmm. Okay, you’ve got me hooked.

You might also let the reader know WHY Gabe was there in the area in the first place. Have her go to the castle and meet with the Laird.

I enjoyed the writing and you definitely have me hooked. <br/><br/>The only thing that seemed absent was emotion. Without that, I felt a little like and outsider looking through a window ... nothing like a tear or two to pull me in, wanting to comfort, identify. Too soon? I am sure the emotion is on its way!<br/><br/>Marion Kathleen, lots of great suggestions from pools of talent.

Maybe when there she could overhear someone comment on how they'd lied to her when she asked quesions ?? Very good start to a story!

It's just too mysterious! I think that we should learn more about Gabe gradually, through flashbacks maybe so he's fleshed out before Allison finds him (asssuming that she does find him, which I'm sure she will!).
