Chapter 10 Summary: “Ellery—Saturday, September 21”

Ezra and Ellery are at the library researching old yearbooks, looking for anything suspicious. The twins are joking around, but they’re both rattled by what’s going on, and they are trying to figure out why so many people connected to Lacey are back in town. The conversation turns to their mother; Ellery believes that Sarah’s disappearance must have something to do with what’s going on, and Ezra thinks Ellery is just trying to “fix” their mother. Looking for clues, Ellery takes up Lacey’s yearbook, where she finds a picture of Officer Ryan Rodriguez. Ezra reveals that Ryan has sold his father’s house and will be moving. She finds another picture of Ryan staring longingly at Lacey with Daisy off to one side.

Before she can study the picture further, Ezra shows her a picture of their aunt. She looks so much like Sadie that Ellery can’t believe this is the serious, well-behaved sister. Ellery suggests that they go by Mia’s house before work to check up on Daisy. When they get to Mia’s, Daisy is in her car, on the phone, and crying. The two watch her try to compose herself before driving off.
