Three Times Lucky Chapter 15 Summary

A Spiritual Curveball

  • Even though no one really liked Mr. Jesse when he was alive, the whole town shows up for his funeral service.
  • Dale is there and pleased with his newfound fame. He brags to Mo that he even saw some guy following him around, and that he's pretty sure he's a bodyguard in plainclothes.
  • Miss Lana leads the whole congregation in saying things about Mr. Jesse… not many of them nice. It turns out people still don't like him that much, even though they've come to his funeral.
  • After the service, Deputy Marla pulls Mo aside to ask why she was talking about cold cases. Mo admits that she wants to look for her upstream mother, and Marla says that if Mo ever needs help with a specific piece of information, she can come to her.
  • Mo goes over to where Detective Starr and Reverend Thompson are talking about Mr. Jesse and how he gave a hundred dollars to the church every single week.
  • Detective Starr wants to know where Mr. Jesse got all that money. After all, it seems odd that Mr. Jesse would have given $57,200 to the church over the years.
  • That night, Mo writes to her upstream mother about her spiritual beliefs. Mo believes, like Miss Lana, in treating people well.
