I think Ed abused both of the daughters, and their behavior (Chole's "grown" discussion, Abigail's "project") are sad consequences of the abuse.

I was wondering about this too. Surely the nanny had been privy to some of the abuse, or at least, suggestions of it?
The kids don't see any of the abuse so either does the nanny. Nanny is only in the scenes with the kids.

I will say that the essential elements of the show are the same and the book will still be enjoyable once you know how it ends. Madeline spends a lot of time in her head trying to figure people out. It's a bit like the distracted driving you see in the opening sequence of the show.
This already happened on the show so it's no spoiler. I just don't remember it from the book.
Yes but if we book readers say that it doesn't happen in the book then it kind of rules out Ed/show director/wife as the murder victims or murderers.
Which is exactly why people have asked others to stop talking about the book on this thread! You have your own thread!

How old is Abigail in the series? For as exceptional the casting is for the lead women and kids, I find the men (except Perry who is perfect) and Abigail to be a little off.

I brought this up in a previous post, the initial look Ed gave Abigail looked creepy, and then he acted as if he was trying to shake it off. And then in another episode he makes a weird comment to Bonnie about liking to look at sweaty women after her yoga class. He seems like a creep.

The first time it happened I thought it was just a weirdly shot scene but then it happened again (twice I think) in the last episode and I'm super confused!

Yep that's why we book readers are keeping a lid on it.

I've gotten so spoiled by binge watching everything. This weekly business is for the birds!
