Part 2, Chapter 46 Summary

Libby meets Miller Roe at the sandwich café where they met the first time. It is late afternoon. Miller Roe catches Libby up on his research. First, Miller Roe shares what he’s learned about Birdie. Born in Gloucestershire as one of eight children in a large Catholic family, Birdie moved to London to study violin at the Royal College of Music. Birdie busked on the weekends and played in a band called Green Sunday, and later joined the band Original Version, which is the one that shot a music video at the Chelsea house. Birdie began dating Justin Redding who became a percussionist for the band. The band released two singles with Birdie and Justin before Birdie and Justin dropped out, leaving the band on bad terms, and moved into the Chelsea house. Miller Roe isn’t able to find any more information about Birdie and Justin and doesn’t know what happened to them after they left the Chelsea mansion. Miller Roe was also able to track down Sally Radlett, Phin and Clemency’s mother, who became a life therapist in Cornwall after the events of the Chelsea house. Miller Roe and Libby decide to go to Cornwall to visit Sally that night.
