Part 3, Chapter 41 Summary

Samuel reads a 2015 news article about the Lamb family, and messages the journalist who wrote it, Miller Roe. He and Donal then drive to the countryside outside of St. Albans to speak to Libby Jones. He is surprised to find that, despite the £7 million for which she sold the house on Cheyne Walk, Libby is living in a flat. Samuel interviews her, but Libby does not provide much information, claiming that she doesn’t remember anything about Birdie or the house on Cheyne Walk since she was a baby when everything happened. Samuel reads her body language and can tell she’s lying. He thinks she may be protecting another person involved in the story of the house. When he asks how she plans to spend the money from the sale of the house, he is surprised that she doesn’t have many plans for the large sum. Samuel asks about Henry and Lucy, whom he believes to be Libby’s siblings; Libby explains that she assumes they are dead. Samuel recognizes that Libby has mostly fed him lies, and leaves “with more questions” than answers (202).
