So who was the poisoner?


The same as the murderer? It never actually said. I guess I'll have to read the book.

No one was poisoning Carrie-Louise. The letter was a red herring planted by Lewis to give a reason for the murder other than his embezzlement.

I thought the "murderer" was the poisoner, wanting her to die so that he could get at her personal funds. Both the sister and Christian were concerned for her health so I would think she really was being poisoned. I don't know if the book is different. What they don't say is who killed the young boy and attacked Alex. And why if he was so ashamed of his son would he chase after him and follow him into those waters and to his death

Not much explanation is given on screen. Very odd!

I assumed that there was no poisoning. Lewis faked it in order to distract police from the embezzlement, but that doesn't make sense because Gulbrandsen says he has seen Carrie-Louise's health fail over time so knows she is being poisoned. Actually, that might not be the case ... I can't remember if it's Lewis who tells us that Gulbrandsen suspects poisoning ... in which case, Lewis has made it up

I couldn't work out why the young reprobate was murdered in the theatre. No obvious reason, and no explanation given onscreen!
