Confused about the timeline. So prologue was new years day 1959, but Percy finds the family's bodies on Xmas Eve 1959. I read it like the stranger on the driveway was the killer, is it actually 12 months before the murder and I've just read it wrong? I'm about 100 pages in so apologies if it makes it clearer down the line, thanks!

Okay, I’m glad I looked this up because I was confused. I release now that I was reading it wrong too! Glad it wasn’t just me, and thank you to Natalie for reminding me that New Years Day 1959 would have been almost a year before 12/24/59. Geez. SMH

You have been reading it wrong! The book opens almost a year prior to the murders. 1/1/59. The murders happen on 12/24/59. It will make more sense at the end, but I wanted to help you before you get there.
