[edit] Discrepancies sorted out

I've just finished the novel and took the liberty of correcting all the errors I found on the page. Not too many, but many enough to mislead someone who hasn't read the book. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fibratus (talk • contribs) 11:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A few discrepancies

Having just read the book, just a few notes to whomever wrote the synopsis:

Everyone assumed Rudi had shot himself. It wasn't that he didn't expect to get shot at, it was, as his girlfriend implied, he didn't seem to have any reason to start shooting.

Phillipa never revealed herself to her sister (whom she hadn't seen since they were three) until the Inspector's scene which caused the murderer to reveal herself. The only reason she did it was because the Inspector falsely accused Edmund (with Edmund's knowledge) of being Pip. As she was in love with Edmund (and married him at the end of the novel), she felt the need to be honest to protect him.

In the novel, Emma and Peter weren't so much in love as just really good friends. Peter did propose at the end, but Emma shot him down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.195.19.41 (talk) 14:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
