Chapter 16 Summary

Workers come to the Dellawisp to renovate Lizbeth’s apartment. They also install a new coded gate around the building. Zoey receives a shipment of her things from home, including her car. Mac and Charlotte give Zoey a tour of the island, showing her the local haunts and where to buy groceries. Mac shows them the neighborhood where he grew up. When Zoey recognizes a nearby house from the photo of Lizbeth and Lucy, Mac says that Roscoe Avanger grew up there as well. Charlotte remarks that everything on the island seems connected to Avanger in some way.

The next morning, Oliver arrives at Mallow Island and goes to the Dellawisp, but is unable to enter because of the new gate. Instead he goes to Frasier’s. Frasier appears wearing pajamas embroidered “RFA” (eventually revealed to stand for Roscoe Frasier Avanger).

Interlude 6 Summary: “Ghost Story: Lizbeth”

Lizbeth processes Oliver’s reappearance. She remembers her upbringing, the day her father died, and how Lucy devolved after his death. She began drinking and taking drugs heavily, often ending up in prison. Lizbeth then met Duncan, who began renting Lucy’s old bedroom, but when Lucy moved back, Duncan shifted his attention to her.
