Did you ever suspect Astrid?

no - I think I'd be more willing to suspect Mrs. Wentwood (the woman at Water House)

No. I can't remember Astrid saying anything suspicious to Proudy when Dave was eavesdropping on them. This new piece of information about the conversation came out of the blue.

I never suspected she was involved, much less the mastermind.

She didn't seem like much of a Mastermind....but then none of these people are too bright. She and Lol had everything worked out ...they thought. The best laid plans of mice and men....

Yes I did think she was involved because Lol was such a creep and I thought Astrid would have left him unless she was involved.

No, great piece of writing. This was a real surprise and no clues were left.
