Biswa answers “I didn't fully understand the ending with...”

Hos the Book Sloth asked this question about Never Lie:

I didn't fully understand the ending with the whole "two can keep a secret if one of them is dead, that's what my mother used to say." Was Adrianne Patricia's mother? It's even more confusing considering how Patricia earlier on in the book says how she didn't understand how Ethan was not close to his parents because she however "spoke to her mother almost everyday"???!?!?!!!! Did I miss something?

It was Patricia's mother (not Adrianne) who told her "two can keep a secret only if one of them is dead" and that's exactly what she mentions to Adrianne right before ending her life. Also, in the epilogue, she mentions it, yet again, revealing the fact that she's even ready to 'erase' the love of her life - the one that she adores so much - her very own husband, if it meant safeguarding all of their evil & dark secrets. That shows just how far she’s willing to go to bury the truth and just how ruthless and psychopathic Patricia truly is!(less)
