2) Why set Kitty up as a big hot shot journalist? …moreI know this is late, however hopefully this helps someone else.

1) How was Kitty engaged to Allister?
2) Why set Kitty up as a big hot shot journalist? How would she have been able to do half the things she did - ie, so many murders! - if she was also a celebrity? Why was that necessary?
3) How did little Kitty's shoes end up on the graveyard?
4) Why does Kitty take Emma with her?
5) What happened to Mother Carlin?
6) Why use nuns as your villains? Why perpetuate that myth?
7) Run by nuns, wouldn’t you naturally expect them to be kind and compassionate?
8) How on earth would the nuns believe that Kitty was Elvira, when Kitty would have been wearing smart clothing and not “brown overalls“?
9) Is this book based on a true story?
10) In Ivy’s darkest of moments her thoughts were not of herself but of another... truly isn’t this the definition of a mother?
11) Who knows what else went on in these places?
12) Where was conscious to all those people?
13) How far does the human race go to hide their shameful secrets and the name of what?
14) How can treating a human like this be accepted?
15) The nana has an arthritic hip and uses a walker, but she’s only 60?
16) What was with certain victims hallucinating?
17) What the hell happened to Fred? It was mention he'd disappeared and no one knew where he was and that was it? Why mention that at all then?
18) Why did Fred risk life and limb for her?
19) What life is Elvira expected to have after so much?
20) Why misdirect with the story about finding the letters in the grandfather's antiques?
21) Where does a young unmarried pregnant girl go in 1956 when abandoned by her lover and shunned by her family?(less)
