The Hunting Wives

Sophie tells Graham that she is the primary suspect in Abby’s murder and that she believes she is being framed. She also confides that Margot and Brad were having a secret relationship. She does not explain about Jamie or admit that Margot used this relationship to blackmail her.

An article in the local paper hints that Jamie and Sophie were having a sexual relationship; it also states that there is a new suspect in the case due to the presence of fingerprints on the murder weapon. The article alludes to an intense fixation between Margot and Sophie. Graham is furious because Sophie has concealed her relationship to Jamie even though he has questioned her repeatedly. He demands that she leave the house, even though he concedes that he doesn’t think she killed Abby.

Sophie packs up and moves into a local motel. She calls Erin and Tina, but both women say that they no longer want to be in contact with her.
