Wilbanks constructed a will that gave clues as to who might be interested in Catherine disappearing. Who topped your list and why? Did your list change throughout the story?

I thought Gilda was the obvious culprit. Wasn't sure about her cousin until Emma ended up dead. I did suspect Michael Hicks for a little while, but wasn't sure why he would care about Catherine at all.

Terrance was so smarmy that he just jumped to the top of my list! Gilda was a close second so I guess I was, in some way, right. But, when Hicks distracted Frank, I got really confused and had no choice but to add his name to the pot. I was glad when that cleared up.

But Emma was such a despicable character I couldn’t stop feeling like she was involved in some way. In the end, she was because she was using poor Catherine to extract money. But, I couldn’t decide if she was bad enough to be able to kill poor Anne.

I forgot that I did wonder if Emma killed Anne, especially when they figured out that Anne would only let a woman visit her room at the boarding house.

At first Oswald seemed the most likely suspect, but as soon as we met him, Gilda and her cousin it became clear that the latter 2 were the most dangerous.

I agree, Giulia.

I suspected Gilda and Terrance from the start. He made my skin crawl and their relationship was off.
