I have only read about 15 pages of the book and I realized something. The first bit when the paramedics come in to the Lisbon house they know exactly where the knife drawer was, and the gas oven (pg 1). Why is that? Well my hunch is that the girls have either tried to commit suicide before; the parents always do something to the kids because otherwise how can the paramedics precisely know where everything is? The paramedics go to many homes but they do not know too much detail. The fact that the paramedics only know where the knife drawer and the gas oven is means whenever the paramedics get called it somehow gets connected to knives and gas.
It also appears that the father and mother are way to strict. The mother always checks if the daughters are wearing anything "too revealing" or even if they are wearing makeup before they are going to school. Meanwhile when Cecila was being rushed to the hospital the dad did not sit in the ambulance and then he took his sweet time driving behind the ambulance. I can positively say that if it was I in that ambulance and my dad was driving, he would not care about the speed limits. Mr. Lisbon seemed calm, relaxed during the situation. That goes to show that the parents do not care too much about the kids. The love just is not there.
