Bookwormjillk Wait! What????? Was it Laura or was it the lady in white? This book is such a soap opera! 1mo

mcctrish What. The. Hell. 1mo

Leftcoastzen Maybe one of those poisons that makes you seem dead but you are not ? I went through all the stages of grief. He would get the money but it probably be worth it to be rid of him . 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Leftcoastzen I wondered the same thing, I can‘t wait to see what happens next! 1mo

dabbe I recall #porkchop hinting to #percypig that he had a plan re: the likeness between Anne and Laura. This must be it. Anne's the one with the heart problem, so Anne's the one who died at #porkchop's place. Laura has to be the one alive and the one that Walter met in the cemetery with Marian. Now we need to fill in how she got there. @Bookwormjillk: #soapoperaindeed

I feel like I'm playing CLUE: Laura is in the library with the wrench .... 🤣 1mo

dabbe Just read this from good ol' Wikipedia; it definitely confirms the soap-operaness of this novel! 🤩
“Collins's works were classified at the time as sensation novels, a genre that became the precursor to detective and suspense fiction. He also wrote penetratingly on the plight of women and on the social and domestic issues of his time.“ 1mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe for real! Total telenovella, this is CLUE, the movie 🤣 1mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe ohhhh good theory. And the flowers did something right? Pork Chop did it in the bedroom with the bouquet. 1mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk #perfection 🤩🤩🤩 1mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead Circa 1860s. 🤩🤣🤩 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Twin switch! I knew it!!!! @dabbe That‘s exactly how I think it went! (edited) 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk Yesssss 😂 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I love the inclusion of “the narrative of the tombstone.” So dramatic! So fitting for the way the novel is told! So unexpected! 1mo

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly yes the tombstone part was A+ 1mo

KAO I did not see that coming!! (But in retrospect probably should have!) 1mo

julieclair I've never thought of flowers as a murder weapon, lol. (Except maybe when consumed as poison.) 💐☠️ 1mo

BarkingMadRead @julieclair when I think of flowers I think of Carol on the walking dead #lookattheflowers 1mo

Ruthiella I love how rain causes such illnesses in Regency/Victorian novels (see also Sense & Sensibility). 💧💧🤒 1mo

mcctrish OMG the twists and the turns. Pork chop is a master manipulator #oceans11vibes Percy Pig is such a twat! Where the hell did typhus come from? I swear at this point I was thinking did the ‘private nurse‘ bring it? Or were they just one step away from typhus at this point in history despite being upper class and having household staff to clean up the lice, etc…? 1mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I was going to google it, but i was afraid to go down the rabbit hole 🤣 I am very suspicious of the whole thing though, like was it ever typhus? Did they pay that young doc to lie? So many questions! 1mo

Bookwormjillk This section was bananas. What do we read tomorrow? The rest of Epoch 2? 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk yes! It‘s only like 10 pages, how sweet is that?!? 1mo

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I feel like this entire book is a lesson in gaslighting #idontknowwhichendisup #trustnoone 1mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead very sweet! @mcctrish yes on the gaslighting. I feel like Pork Chop is playing chess and Percy is playing checkers but they‘re both very effective in their manipulations. 1mo

julieclair So much going on here!! I love it! But I‘m very afraid for Laura in London. 😬 1mo

Leftcoastzen Didn‘t they mention that #countporkchop knew about poisoning? Some of course kill you , but others can make you sick. Though lady gets wet , gets a chill, gets real sick is common in these novels 1mo

dabbe My lord, how women were at the mercy of men in this era. You're simply property, and that's it. Oh, and an apparent ATM for all of your debts. #percypig and #porkchop are beyond evil. So much melodrama! That's what Collins was known for, and he writes it well! What a soap opera this would be! 1mo
