The Family Remains

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of sexual assault and suicide.

As Samuel is thinking about Henry’s dark, “twisted” (339) side, Samuel gets a message from Cath Manwaring that something terrible has happened to Justin.

Police summons Rachel to Antibes, where she is questioned about Michael's death. Rachel is honest about having visited Michael recently, but claims to know nothing about Lucy. The police explain that Lucy visited Michael the same day Rachel did; they tried to locate her, but were unsuccessful.

Rachel worries for herself and Lucy as the investigation continues, until she gets a call from the French detective on the case.

Henry, Lucy, Marco and Stella return to London, and Lucy notices that Henry seems “different somehow, softer” (344). Even though she is glad to be home, she worries that the French police will find her and uncover that she killed Michael over a year ago.
