What Remains

what did you think?

[horseshoes]

I really enjoyed it. Very engaging.

[Prudie]

AS usual I had one eye on here so I don't know if I found it difficult to follow or if it needs full concentration. I'm confused.

[Caribeing]

Very atmospheric and quite spooky the house and flats reminded me of the movie 10 Rillington Place about murderer Dr Crippen

[Postdog]

That wasn't doctor crippen.

What confused me, was that there no post inside the flat door after she went missing and no dust anywhere, also, why did the detective at the beginning need a key to get in when the new couple had smashed the door in earlier???

10 Rillington Place was Christie. I wondered about her post, was the killer collecting it? Was it left at the front door as in most flats in converted houses? The food had rotted so why no dust?

[Caribeing]

Sorry meant to say John Christie, the rooms in the house in What Remains just reminded me of that.

He needed a key because the new lady said the locksmith had been to change the locks

.......and no post because there wasnt any letterbox

but what about the gas and electric bills? Surely at some point the power company would have come and cut the power off because even if it was paid by direct debit, at some point the money in her bank would have run out, unless she had a lump sum inheritance, why did they not check employers or banks or G.P.? Had her fridge freezer not been checked for out of date food? I'm not happy with it at all, who is the ex school pal of him out of the job centre show that seems to be the slave of the maths teacher in his basement? If someone used her keys to get into her flat straight after her death why were the keys lying next to her body and if they did use the keys why were the keys not fingerprinted? If sound carried like that so would the smell of the decomposing body, someone should have noticed that. Someone left her up there to rot and put the pole back, someone was in the loft before she went up the ladder yet everyone says they never used the loft. The weight of her body would have excluded trying to move and dispose of it i suppose, but why leave her door keys?

[piccadilly]

it was very good,but i would have thought the stench of a decaying body would have been noticed,even if it was the top flat

[pilotlight]

What was the cause of the water leak ?

[bednobs]

I assumed it was runny person, not water

I don't think a body would have any 'runny' bits left after 2 years. I did wonder why the police needed a key the first time they went in the flat straight after the new tenant had broken in, the locksmith came later. I presumed they had mail boxes in the entrance hall so that's why there was no mail inside the door. They did explain why no one would have smelt anything but I can't remember now. I don't think there would be much dust in an empty sealed house. The majority of dust is created by people shedding skin and fibres whilst going about their daily business and some might be let in through windows or doors. No habitation then little to no dust.
