A girl, Connie Gormley, started flirting with Rolly, so he took her to the car and had sex with her. The truth gradually comes out, and years ago it turns out that when they were coming from fishing, Rolly and Clayton stopped at a pub. Then Terry tells him that he knows he is the one who helped Clayton to leave the money for Cynthia, and he thinks that Rolly did it because he felt he owed Clayton something.
Rolly, Terry’s friend and headmaster, comes to the house, and while Cynthia stays with Grace who is asleep the two men go to the kitchen to talk. When Enid starts shouting, Jeremy runs towards them, so he gets in the way of the car, so in the end the three of them end up in the lake, dead.Īfter Terry, Cynthia and Grace go back home, and they tell the detective what has happened. He has nothing to lose, so he starts the car intending to drive the car into the lake. And then as nobody is watching, Clayton sidles to their car and gets into it. Enid urges him to kill him, but Jeremy hesitates, saying he has never killed someone point-blank. Terry confronts him and there is a a fight which ends up with Terry fallen on the ground and Jeremy pointed at him with his gun. Cynthia and Grace are tied inside the car, and Jeremy is planning to push them into the lake. So they drive there, and Clayton is right. Then Clayton thinks that since the lake where Patricia and Todd were thrown is close, it is likely that it could be the place where to find Cynthia.
Terry thinks that the logical place to meet would be the McDonald’s, and when he asks around, he is told that Jeremy and Enid were there but they went. It is Cynthia, who tells him that her brother has called and wants to see her, and they have arranged to meet in Winsted, which is exactly where Terry and Clayton are. When Terry and Clayton stop briefly at a petrol station, Terry realises that he has a missed call. I have enjoyed the novel, but I am not so crazy about the ending.
