They are at a house party and she thinks that Calandra (MC) will eat chocolates and die during the night. Then she wants to plant the suicide note. It won't work out that way of course. The fake note will only be found much, much later.Mary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173848032638392506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773820892616665200.post-29887026207044909572008-11-17T16:32:00.000-08:002008-11-17T16:32:00.000-08:00Mary-I love it.

Death by Chocolate- literally. <BR/><BR/>Plus, it also adds a whole bunch of emotional baggage for your heroine if she does in fact give it to somebody else.<BR/><BR/>Just one thought, though. If a lady was going to kill herself by overdosing on laudanum, she could easily buy a bunch in pill form that were available over the counter back then. If the killer wants to make it look like suicide- wouldn't the cops wonder why the victim took the time to fill chocolates with the stuff?<BR/><BR/>Maybe just send the chocolates as a present for the heroine (without the fake suicide note)?<BR/><BR/>Just a thought of mine. Ignore as you see fit. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773820892616665200.post-66368589062237265502008-11-17T10:57:00.000-08:002008-11-17T10:57:00.000-08:00The chocolates are poisoned with laudnum.

Too bad, so sad.<BR/><BR/>Guess that means the killer will have to be a little more direct.<BR/><BR/>And the first murder is a poisoning. That's what this killer does.<BR/><BR/>Oooh, my verification word is "trolluda" LOL!Mary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173848032638392506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773820892616665200.post-58744589810770384012008-11-17T08:46:00.000-08:002008-11-17T08:46:00.000-08:00More dead bodies--woo hoo!

I'd be scared to death if someone died from eating something meant for me. I guess the only thing is that poisoned food is not the most expiditious way to kill someone, but then murderers aren't always the sharpest knives in the drawer. Plus it's a murder mystery, so we readers want inventive murders ;)Anna Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774415814789806840noreply@blogger.com
