Prologue- Elly
I slammed her door in my mother's face and threw my whole weight against it. My baby cousin is dead. Dead! My exuberant, joyous ten-year-old cousin is dead. She's never going to come back. I couldn't face Mom anymore. Her pacifying offering, "I know what you're going through," only makes things worse.
What does Mom know? She wasn't close to Uncle Duncan, and, by association, Lilly. She might have been close to Aunt Lilly, her namesake, but Lilly was nothing like the stories of Aunt Lilly that Uncle Duncan told me. All of those stories were about a teenage Aunt Lilly, some of them featuring Mom, or Uncle Duncan's high school girlfriend. Lilly and I had played a game, we would tell Uncle Duncan ridiculous stories we made up about his mystery girlfriend, trying to explain why he wouldn't tell us her name.
I cried harder remembering the fun we used to have. How could she be dead? She was so young, so full of life. She had been found next to the pool. Drowned, but hauled out and left next to the pool. Lilly was a good swimmer. She wouldn't have drowned. And who would have dragged her out of the pool and not told anyone? But who would want to murder Lilly Kane?
