Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 35 Summary

Marion remembers how she was at the hospital in the supply closet when she heard two people come into the outer room. She saw William kissing Nora, the volunteer. When Avery showed up at her door on Tuesday, Marion saw a way to hurt William and Nora in the same instance. She told Avery she could hide in her basement until she thought she had punished her family enough. Once Marion thought that William had suffered enough, she reported the tip on Ryan. Her plan was for Ryan to take the fall for Avery’s murder, which she knew would destroy Nora. Marion decides that she will kill Avery soon.
