We discovered that Charlie was poisoned by Hemlock, and that the fingerprints of Darren Collins were found in Foxglove House. Any thoughts on these two developments?

Wesley told Paul to find out all you can about Collin’s character. Check on the staff in his warehouse. Go around to all the local pubs and restaurants to ask if Marrick ate lunch there on the day he died. Was he with anyone and look for places with quail on the menu. Quail can eat hemlock seeds and be immune to the poison but if someone eats the contaminated meat, it can kill them.

The hemlock disabled the victim so he could not defend himself. Collins’s fingerprints places him in the house. It doesn’t answer when he was there.

Collins and his fingerprints being at the crime scene doesn’t seem to fit. We definitely need to know more about him.
The hemlock is an interesting development, but fits with him being drugged. Poison is usually a woman’s choice of murder method but complicated by the stabbing. Does make me wonder if it could be a woman responsible.

Nothing in particular springing to mind.

>5 Andrew-theQM: That is an interesting thought Andrew. does this bring us back to Annette?

>7 Maura49: That is definitely a possibility.
