Chapter 24 Summary

When April started dating Eddie, she quickly realized it wasn’t like any other relationship she’d ever had. They did everyday things together, like grocery shopping, and it was so easy that she sometimes couldn’t believe it. She could tell Eddie felt the same—this was new to both of them.

Now they reflect on their afternoon with the Snell sisters: Even though they have more information, they feel that they still don’t understand anything. Eddie reminds April that the Lost Girl is the only victim who was never identified—in fact, the tags were ripped out of her clothing to prevent it. Eddie theorizes that the Lost Girl’s murder was the first, and the origin of all the others, and that the means to identify her were removed because she knew her killer.

Chapter 25 Summary

While he was still in Iraq, Eddie began to have visual and auditory hallucinations. After he spoke to a doctor, he was discharged, but he couldn’t afford the prescriptions or therapy, so he moved in with his parents and got a job as a mechanic. His PTSD can be unpredictable, but he has learned to live with it.

Eddie’s willingness to share his painful personal history with April inspires her to do the same.
