Can u explain the ending? Please
Yes, please explain why te room color was so significant
It's Ester's way to telling Grace that she knew what Jack's intent was. He had initially said in front of Ester that Millie's room would be yellow, then twice said it was Red, and Ester called him on that to clarify. He denied saying it was red. At the end, Adam tells Ester about the Red Room in the basement with the horrible paintings, and since Millie has told Ester how she fell from the stairs, and she hates "Clooney", Ester puts it all together, & asks Grace what color is Millie's room? When Grace responds "red", it is clear to Ester what Jack's intent was (to imprison Mille in that red room), and it's also clear to Grace that Ester knows. At least that's my take on it.
Yeah, Ramona! That’s my take on it too. And it was just delivered so satisfyingly, IMO.
Glad, Allison, that we are on the same page RE: "Behind Closed Doors." Interesting! I just read another suspenseful book recommended by Melissa called, The Lullaby Girl (Angie Pallorina Series) by Loreth Anne White. Page Turner. Although it is a series, with the first called, The Drowned Girl, you don't have to read both, but it familiarized me with the lead character, Angie. The Lullaby Girl was better, but both good; however, it's brutal with the topic of a serial killer.
Ooh interesting!! Thanks for the recommendation! I’m gonna check it out!
