Wow. You are studying some very advanced English! I salute you! :)

The phrases "snapped out" and "made accidental" are not everyday language and can only be determined from the context of the book, that is, how they relate to other parts of the book.

I myself, a well-read native speaker of English, had to rely on searching the web for the answer. The link below is the best answer I found, and I'll also explain it.

"Snapped out" is most likely a reference back to "snapped them out with her fingers" earlier in the book, and refers to extinguishing candles by snapping or flicking one's fingers through the candle flame.

So when you read "They were gone, without a word, snapped out", it means that they left very suddenly and abruptly, as you might imagine a candle flame being suddenly and abruptly extinguished.

And the phrase "made accidental" appears to be foreshadowing, that is, a hint of what is to happen later. (There is evidently a plan coming up to make an intentional killing appear to be accidental.) So "made accidental" could also be read "as though by accident", again, giving a feeling of a sudden and abrupt change.

Whew. Hope this helped. Please feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best to answer! :)
