Chapter 23 Summary

A team of detectives arrives to investigate the thefts; they pack up Leo’s things and his garden shed. Ann and Rachel continue working on their article. Leo arrives and confronts the detectives, and Detective Murphy tells him they’ve discovered a belladonna root that had been harvested and arrests him. Meanwhile, Ann and Rachel are having a picnic. Ann is concerned by how detached Rachel is from the situation. Rachel gifts Ann with her own set of tarot cards. Ann does a reading with them, and they reveal misfortune and severing.

Chapter 24 Summary

Ann and Rachel discuss Leo, who’s currently in prison. Ann thinks Rachel’s privilege is a barrier to understanding her and Leo. Rachel leaves, and Ann calls Detective Murphy to tell her Leo isn’t a killer. Detective Murphy isn’t certain, and asks about Leo’s antiques dealer—Stephen Ketch. Ann realizes that no one is being honest with her, and that Rachel is the one manipulating them all. Detective Murphy tells her Leo will soon be released. Ann searches Rachel’s apartment as well as the suite above, which belonged to Rachel’s parents, until she finds a small item stolen from the museum.
