Anna, however, does not tell Fin right away that she is connected to the case. He was particularly intrigued when he saw a picture of Leon and his children on the boat and realized that it proved there was a fourth person on the boat on which Leon and his family died. When Anna finally told Fin the truth about the podcast to which they had been listening as they drove, Fin insisted they should try to investigate the murders. Based on what Anna knew about Leon, Anna did not believe that Leon would have committed that sort of murder. Trina argued that Leon had killed himself and his children. Trina Keany, the narrator of the podcast set forth the argument that Amila Fabricase, who had been found guilty of the murders of Leon and his two children, could not have killed them because she was on a plane headed home when the three died. She learned the podcast was about the death of Leon Parker, a man she had met while she worked at a luxury resort one summer. Just before Anna learned Hamish was leaving her, she had begun listening to a new podcast. Instead, when Fin, Estelle’s husband, came to Anna’s house to check on her, Anna took them both on a drive to revisit her past. Anna was to move out of the house while her daughters went on a week-long vacation with Hamish and Estelle. Making matters worse, Hamish, the father of Anna’s children, and Estelle, her best friend, announced they were having an affair. As Anna considered how to protect her daughters and herself from the cruel and greedy people who wanted her story silenced, she considered confronting Gretchen Teigler, the creator of her misery, but decided that would be foolish. When Anna’s picture was taken with musician Fin Cohen and posted to Twitter, Anna was recognized by the men from her past. She has lived for years as Anna McDonald, with a partner and two daughters who know nothing of her past. In the suspense novel Conviction by Denise Mina, when Sophie Bukaran realized she was in danger of being killed after a failed rape trial, she changed her name and made a new life for herself.
