John’s been haunting Hope

Recently, Fiz and Tyrone were shocked to find an extract from a book about John Stape, published in The Gazette.

Since then, they’ve been trying to stop the book from being published, begging for Hope’s name to be removed.

Journalists tricked Hope into giving them information online.

The journalist who wrote the book suggested that Hope was a serial killer in the making, taking after her dad.

The book mentions the trouble she has caused, including her passion for lighting fires.

In a bid to protect Hope, Tyrone bought all of the books from the local bookstore so that nobody could read them.

He hid the books and a cardboard cut-out of John Stape, in the outhouse but unfortunately Hope found them.

Is Hope turning into her dad?

John Stape was a murderer who ended the lives of Charlotte Hoyle and Joy Fishwick, also covering up the death of Colin Fishwick.

Hope has been compared to her criminal dad, as she’s often caused trouble when things haven’t gone her way.

Although she hasn’t physically killed anyone, she did light a fire that caused Alina to have a miscarriage.

She’s also hidden Joseph in her attic, pretending that he’d gone missing.

Hope has a criminal mind, but could it be genetic?
