Why did the poisoner hide the end pages of the letter if it just revealed her condition etc. And what was the explanation for the ghost ? Just a sheet jack in the box? Did the sorcerer actually kill those women in 18th centuary? And how did the poisoner find the lair if no one else did?
Thanks
Why did the poisoner hide the end pages of the letter if it just revealed her condition etc.The best I can come up with is: in case he needed to refer to the information in them later. Although really he should have scanned them to a digital file and destroyed the letter, but this guy also hid his initials in those murder letters to his first wife, so perhaps he liked living dangerously?
And what was the explanation for the ghost ? Just a sheet jack in the box?Yes, pretty much.
Did the sorcerer actually kill those women in 18th century?Judging by the amount of skeletal remains in the pit, yes.
And how did the poisoner find the lair if no one else did?They solved the riddle with the help of the priest, but it was actually the security camera guy who found the lair, once the poisoner and his wife ran off. It was fortunate for him, as now he had the perfect way to kill the poisoner (in revenge for his sister-in-law's murder) and still not be a suspect.
Thanks for reply, sorry yea the security guy...Just thought it was odd he was able to find it when there was such a reputation around the house, you would think it would have all been searched in the past or found by residents.
shareI loved warick in it, thought he was really good, but didn't have many good lines he's just a good comic actor. I thought the water glass was pod. There were large leaps you had to go along with but I thought it was good.
shareThe sorcerer killed men, not women, mostly. The women were the ones that he got to watch it happen.
shareI wondered that - removing the pages didn't stop them going to the house and surely it was only chance that the old man was struck mute. He would then have told her the truth, and the truth about the letter would have been exposed.
Having the old man struck mute by pure chance was a deux a machin too far. If something's going to happen to him, let it be by design.
Another issue I have is with the murder of his first wife. Even ignoring the ridiculous notion of hoping super sleuth Creek will get you off, the fact that the water glass has to be in exactly the right position excludes the possibility of an outside agency committing the murder in that fashion.
Overall, a big step in the right direction from the abysmal series 5, but still very problematic. Such a slow build up with Creek and Polly stuck in the boring village life with unfunny jokes like a bad sedate sitcom. The normally funny Wawrick Davis given a really poor script. Why not get the investigation under way sooner, and have Polly show a bit more interest? I switched off mentally for the first half hour; does the writer really think any of the scarecrow or Warwick Davis parts were in the least amusing. The only thing more misjudged was the skinhead thug wanting revenge. God that was awful. Just when the mystery's getting intense and he blunders in.
I thought the poisoner hide pages of the letter because he was geniuelly in love with his second wife and tried to keep her from the truth. Of course according to the writer's build-up he's a evil man and that would not be the case, but there is no real proof of him being unfaithful or planning to murder his second wife other than some speculations. And another thing mentioned above is right, there is no point in hiding those pages since they are coming anyway. If he really tries to keep her in the dark, it's better to pretend he never received that letter. Or maybe he's planning to stage a suicide after she learns the truth from her stepfather in Demon's Roost? We'll never know.
