Leona is still harsh and aggressive but she is not capable of staying in her home, so Claire has left her job in NYC to move to D.C. to get her grandmother settled in a care facility.

She doesn’t seem too concerned about that, but she is a little afraid when there may have been an intruder into her grandmother’s home. Then, there is the fact that her childhood friend Gavin died suddenly in a car accident right after sending her a thought-provoking text message. The scene is set and it’s all very dark and mysterious and inviting me to read the rest of the book!
