The friends devise a lethal plan after believing Raven is being abused, then hide the secret when the plan appears to have been abandoned.
Belladonna has become skilled at keeping secrets, and the estranged friends reunite when she seeks help proving her innocence.
Raven is said to suffer abuse from his stepmother, while Belladonna’s arrest brings police and family authority into the foreground.
The book includes murder, a contemplated poisoning, arrest and alleged abuse by a stepmother.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: another book-specific source is still needed; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
