Next morning they get up and she is gone but Michelle says well at least were alive and she didnt take the silverware. then later her father calls and she says Shipley home for wayward Girls. Michelle speaking, how can I help you? .also later on in the book when they go for the DNA test, Hunter, the father, wants to be tested too along with Caroline and Lili. Michelle says why don't I get tested too and see if I am really your daughter? Caroline and Hunter just say Michelle . to which she says well a united front. I think thats a first. But anyhow if U want a great book, a good who done it one, and a easy read then this book is for you. and also since I live in Canada and this author is from Canada well cant help but like her. highly recommend this book or any of her books.
