Page "Skinny Dip (novel)" Paragraph 9

Joey is equally baffled, and begs Stranahan not to report that she is still alive.

Since she has no idea yet why he tried to kill her, she doubts that she can convince the police that it wasn ’ t a drunken accident or attempted suicide.

Instead, she wants to find out herself why he did it, and drive her husband to insanity by building on his vanity and paranoia.

Stranahan agrees.
