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. moping

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.

help

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 rolling on the floor laughing but you know what, you ever wanted to murder someone, now's your chance.
yay

Ha, it was. And yes I am chatting away to myself here. How are you Biff, cup of coffee? Don't mind if I do, Biff, thanks.

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 laugh
Molly! grab a cup of coffee laugh coffee
Tim, my murderers ALWAYS get caught and quite often gruesome things happen to them - justice is always done and my readers go away resolving to lead better lives rolling on the floor laughing daisy
Biff, make it a tea and I'm yours grin
Rooibos tea coming up. With unrefined sugar, if you need sweetening? grin
I have drunk rooibos, I'll have you know snooty
Could I have some tea too please - but without the sugar!! I don't trust you!!!devil peace
Ah but Molly - she knew you were going to do that, so gave herself the one with the poison initially!! OOOOPS!!!devil devil peace
I can drink any of our cups, I've taken the antidote mwah hahaha
Molly, I think you've been Biffed!!laugh
I didn't touch mine!! Nah na na na nah!!! Hee hee!!grin
I think I might lose weight if I ever went to visit Biff. ..no eating or drinking uh oh


But then, she wouldn't feel very safe with me eitherlaugh
PAC, drat it, you foiled me! rolling on the floor laughing

Molly, catch me going anywhere near the kitchen, for sure. Mind you I rarely do laugh my guests want to eat, they know where everything is, or can find it. Or, of course, take me out to dinner. grin
Biff, I could stay here if I wanted to cook for myself roll eyes
Probably safer all round rolling on the floor laughing
Molly, why don't you come and visit me!! I am a great cook and I got a lovely new big chest freezer! I can fit LOADS of meat in it!!devil peace
Only if I can bring a sacrificial lamb Biff with me grin
Oh, please do! I do love to have people for dinner!!devil And the more, the merrier - for me anyway!! I always find, I have lots of left-overs!! So handy for a quick snack!!devil grin
PAC, I'll bring a Chianti to wash her it down wine


grin
That sounds wonderful!! (rubs hands with glee) I shall have my secretary send you the invitations!! No need to dress up - it won't be necessary!!devil
hey hey HEY I'm tough and leathery and there's not nearly as much of me as Molly, who is famously taller than a tree. Back to plan A, PAC scold
And I think I'm going to be busy, unfortunately, but tell you what, I'll send along some ribs Tru gave me for your feast. They're delicious. Taste a bit like pork. laugh
Well Elegs, you do know, that olive oil can help your leathery skin. Just rub it in, with a little sage and thyme! It really is most efficacious for a smooth skin. A little garlic, will also help! grin
PAC, I get the impression you've done this before...laugh
And I get the impression that famous freezer is empty and she's going to be offering invitations all OVER the place

Love you PAC hug from a cautious distance rolling on the floor laughing just like I love Molly
Indeed Molly! I have been known to have people over for dinner - but never more than once! Although, I have had some "repeat" visits!! I do find some company, hard to digest! devil grin
you're scaring me.... never going to Ireland again. laugh
One should always be cautious Elegs!!devil rolling on the floor laughing peace hug
PAC, I find peppermint tea good for those repeats coffee2
Ah Bogart, you have to learn to trust people!! I mean to say, our lives would not amount to a "hill of beans", if we didn't learn to trust one another!! Speaking of beans - hmmmmmmmmmmm, not alfalfa though, I find they give me indigestion!!peace
Yup I just scrubbed all Irish plans as well laugh super

But on the bright side a plot is bubbling fairly furiously ... yay
Well honestly - you send out a perfectly gracious invitation - only to have it turned down!!mumbling What is a body to do!! Body - body!! Hmmmmmmmmm- I do like that word!!devil Suddenly, I am feeling hungry! Think I will go and check the freezer!! grin
Okay, this thread will get another book written, but all future travel plans and CS meets have been suspended as a result laugh
Hell, no pressure. Hope it's worth it laugh

Nah, we like living dangerously, we CS blogging types. I'll just take my dog along. She's an excellent judge of character. grin
I'll take my dogs along and distract her devil
It should be a lively meeting laugh
It could be laugh


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.
They've all been eaten grin

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.
Ýeah, I didn't know bloggers back then. Maybe they never went to meets?

Chatters and Forumers did, but maybe bloggers didn't.

Even without the 2nd degree?
Oh I thought this blog was about what happened to the CS bloggers that aren't here anymore, but you are only confessing to killing characters in your books. So someone else d
id the bloggers in..
