In the end, we get the big monologue from Adelaide about how she was pulling the strings the whole time, and I just have to ask: why? What was the point of killing Flo/Clara/Eleanor/Alex? What were the Verretts trying to achieve? Why did Addie even bother killing (maybe?) Libbie in the end?
Also, why did Libbie bother marrying Harold and moving to Rhode Island if she was just gonna hide the pregnancy anyway? Like she very clearly did not want to be at Brookhants. Why not have the baby in France and peace out?
I actually enjoyed this book for the most part, but I’m bemused by these particular motivations (or lack thereof)
