Chapter 11 Summary

Ray gets up early to work on Saturday morning, and after he finishes some emails, Tom and Lucy fight. Mags comes down and defuses it instantly. He asks how she does it, and she says, it’s called parenting: “You should try it sometime” (109). They are at odds lately. She reminds him, after he gets another email, that he has promised not to work the weekend. Mags is thinking of domestic duties, but his mind is on his work.

 

Later, Mags thanks him for putting work aside for once, allowing them to have a fun family day at the end of the school year. He doesn’t tell Mags he still kept his Blackberry on throughout the day but says now that the kids are in bed he’s going to work. Mags is unhappy about it. He promises he’ll be done in an hour. He doesn’t keep to that.

Later, she brings him some tea and sees he is working on the Jacob Jordan case. He admits the case was filed but he and “the team” are still looking at it anyway. He doesn’t want to mention Kate. Mags says, “It’s not like Annabelle, you know” (114). This reminds him of the Annabelle Snowden case, his first job as Detective Inspector.
