The Defendants list would be very interesting then.

BTW the next time you hear from me I will be in Rio educating the children of other ex-pats  ;D

Re lime - well, quicklime, best hope that it isn't too humid/damp if this method is going to be used by A aka Ms Crippen.
The book arrived - very interesting reading. How about a frozen leg of lamb as a murder weapon that gets subsequently cooked...
Currently thinking about poison - foxgloves perhaps. Maybe A knows that B has a weak heart. Perhaps a long day at the allotment to give the poison a chance to work. Perhaps the date can coincide with a gardening related event that A remembers that most of the other plot holders on site were going.....
Have to make sure that B can convincingly disappear for a while - people have been convicted of murder even though the victim's body hadn't been found....

Is the frozen leg of lamb a true story??? :o  :o My Aunt used to tell the tale of how hubby killed wife (or vice versa) with said weapon and then fed the evidence to the police in sandwiches, i always thought it was a long tale! ::)

Tis fictional Doris - penned by Roahl Dahl (perhaps one of his Tales of the Unexpected).

Was reading about blunt instruments - the first blow might not kill.

Who, in Eastenders, did Pauline Fowler hit with a frying pan?
Thinking back to a Kitchen Garden mag - there was an allotment shed that contained a kitchen as they would have sunday dinner down the plot. How about a le crusset frying pan as a weapon?

Thinking at the moment of a combination of poison and a hit over the head with something hard. Poisons may take time to act. Perhaps B liked herbal teas, and a foxglove tea could be used.

Wardy - I remember buying Agatha Christie books for my grandmother. Went for the ones that I hadn't seen on tv. Might see if any have made their way to my mum's, or wil borrow from library. Currently reading JG Ballard's short stories at the moment. Quite bizarre. Wonder if I have the tales of the unexpected at my mum's. Remember something from reading one where someone was chopping a tree? and it was screaming....

What if A tells OH that she  is leaving him - doesn't give a reason. 

A then bumps off B.

A  has plastic surgery to look like B. 

OH goes off with A thinking it's B 

No-one is looking for B, because A is now B. 

No-one is looking for A because she's left, A is still there anyway - as B.

If the body is found they won't know who it is because no-one is missing.

Brilliant  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Lily - wasn't there a drama with thingy from Minder - she-devil? Googled - The life and loves of a she devil.

Where the wronged woman has plastic surgery to make her look like the other?
