Murder Most Foul
I have, in my time, smothered, knifed, strangled, hanged, shot, poisoned and bludgeoned them to death.I have injected air bubbles into their arteries, dropped them into cellars to starve to death, hired killers to see them off, set up fake suicides, and now I’ve run out of ideas.
I still need to kill off between four and six characters over the space of two books, ideally using ways that you or I could do, or for that matter solve, without needing fantastic skills, special equipment, or untraceable poisons distilled from a mushroom found only in one acre of the Amazon forest.
Common or garden murders, tricky to solve, easy to achieve either remotely or without getting spattered and therefore instantly spotted. Easy.
I got a couple of excellent suggestions and a couple of suggestions I suspect were taking the Michael when I raised this briefly in another blog but you know what, you ever wanted to murder someone, now's your chance.

DC is too busy writing to join me. If you do get caught, sweetie, be sure to mention you got the idea on a blog from that famous whodunit writer, okay? I could really use the publicity
But then, she wouldn't feel very safe with me either
Molly, catch me going anywhere near the kitchen, for sure. Mind you I rarely do my guests want to eat, they know where everything is, or can find it. Or, of course, take me out to dinner.

But on the bright side a plot is bubbling fairly furiously ...
Nah, we like living dangerously, we CS blogging types. I'll just take my dog along. She's an excellent judge of character.
It's actually amazing how few CS Meets are being organised now.
When I joined 3 years ago, there had been ones in Oz, US, Britain, and regular ones in Ireland. Now, none. Strange.
We're a bit thinner on the ground than back then. Probably because new bloggers are told to spread, shoved up against a wall and patted down.
Chatters and Forumers did, but maybe bloggers didn't.
Even without the 2nd degree?
