I have been writing as if I have knowledge I do not in fact have.
Then suddenly I thought of just the right person to ask
and voila! now I know all about (well, not all) arsenic.
A friend pointed out to me that I could not possibly have the maid murder the woman and man...(maids generally being diminutive) by stabbing them.
The murder is essential - hey this is not the real world - as they have the tickets to The New World...I wonder when America stopped being called that; or even when it began.
I hadn't really thought about the physical difficulties of a small woman stabbing a man.
Enter poison.
Enter arsenic.
But now I read that it works rather faster then I had anticipated.
I can work around that.
Like I said it's not reality!

wow - you are writing a mystery too? - I thought you were writing a historical novel of some sort - but hey historical mystery works for me - sounds like you have really gotten a lot of research for this book - all you have to do is ask and someone will point you in the right direction - I've lots of reference sites if you need them for mystery information as well as other writing things - just let me know - either email or via your blog - E :)
