I threw out the name of Neville below, but I don't honestly believe it much. I mean it's possible. He is kind of a jerk and I think it more likely than Madeleine and certainly more likely than Adelaide. I actually trust Adelaide (and Rashad, not that anyone has thrown out his name, but since he does spend time with Neville, I thought I'd bring him up).

As for Justin, I've been suspicious of him since day one. He obviously has the brains for this and he obviously was somewhere visible at the time everything went down, but I'm sure whomever the mastermind was, they didn't actually participate in the attack and were somewhere visible, so that doesn't mean much. I can't put my finger on why I'm so suspicious of him (well, nothing other than his reaction to being told not to release Tariq's confession during the wedding shower), but the first time I saw him there were something off about him. Doesn't mean he's guilty, but I have been suspicious of him for practically the entire book.

I'm not really sure what to think of Madeleine as a suspect. I mean she definitely is a suspect, but she's practically the most obvious one that there is and that of its own makes it extremely unlikely she actually is involved. To have her invovled is either extremely good storytelling or extremely bad storytelling, totally depending on everything else. She's been a potential queen for a long time. This is the second time she was engaged to one of Constantine's sons and thrown over. A plan could have been contingent on her being queen. As long as she was the future queen or there was a chance she could be (when Leo threw her over, he also gave up the thrown, so there was the possibility she could marry his brother), they left things alone, but once it was obvious she wasn't going to be they attacked and the MC was targeted, because she was the one who made that happen. And such a plan doesn't have to have Madeleine involved. It could be people who she doesn't know who never contacted her. It's difficult to say and who knows if it will even come up in the next book or not.
