Lovely Bones

Well, I have not posted in a very long time. Anyway, I have still been reading Lovely Bones, hopefully to finish it this coming week. Where I last left off, Mr. Salmon had just left Mr. Harvey's house with suspicion that he could possibly be the creepy murderer of Susie Salmon. Even though the Salmon's cannot find Susie's body, they still have a memorial service for her at a funeral home where all of her friends and family come to mourn and show support. Lindsey is finally being hit with the loss of her sister, and I always seem to find her in Susie's room looking at old pictures, laying on her bed etc. However, Mrs. Salmon's mother shows up--who has not been very "close" to the family" and suggests that Lindsey needs a makeover and a pretty outfit for the service. So, Mrs. Salmon puts Lindsey's make up on, and picked out a dress from Susie's closet. At the end of the night, Lindsey feels pretty about herself and ends up sleeping with her full make up on, laying back on the mattress the whole night in Susie's bed, in Susie's dress. The next morning, was the service; Ruth was there, however, Ray was not there because he could not stand the grief. Creepily, Mr. Harvey stood in the graveyard feeling anxious to whoever who could possibly find out about his crime. Next, since Mr. Salmon noticed that Ray was not there, he went over to his house to see how he was doing as well as claim him as a suspect to Susie's murder. Ray was not there the time Mr. Salmon was at his house, however, Mrs. Singh thought this to be absurd and told Mr. Salmon that Ray adored Susie and would never do anything like that to her; as obsessive as he was..
