Is the letter meant to be opened sometime in particular? Like, for example, a will? Is there any particularity like this one to the letter? Or is it a regular letter that she would send to her cousin living in Belgium? | ||

Is it written by hand? Typed? Printed? Collaged from newspapers? Does it take the form of an essay? (eg. structured in paragraphs) Is it composed with images or other content? Could it be confused with a regular (though old-fashioned) "Dear Jackie, how are you..." letter? Or is it like a note left on the fridge door/counter top/whatever? If so, is it like that because of the way it is used? Or because of its content? Is the content shorter than: half a page? one page? One sheet? Two pages? Two sheets? or is it longer? (if it is exactly one of those, please mention) Does anybody read the letter before her death? How about after her death? | ||

But there was a FA before, so I assume her husband didn't read the letter. I also assume you wouldn't count her as a reader when you say that somebody read it. So hmm... Did the killer read the letter? Did the letter cause him to resort to murder? | ||

Nice of you to use my real name! Thanks!  The killer had to be in the house to read the letter, right? And he was there with no murderous thougts initially. Is he a member of the family? Or some kind of worker doing his job? Is the relationship with Estelle relevant? Family? Friend? Lover? Acquaintance? Colleague? Competitor? Nemesis? Killer's relationship with her husband relevant?

I assumed that if he's family with the wife, he's family with the husband. Do you mean that he's related by blood to the husband, and only by alliance with the Estelle? And in the shadow of a expected yes, I ask... Relationship with the husband: son/daughter from another marriage? Father? Mother? Sister? Brother? Ex-wife maybe? | ||

And of course, when I typed "the Estelle", I initially wanted to say "the wife" and backspaced too few characters... Are they twins? Is the brother older than the husband? Younger? Relevant? Is any part of the letter about the killer brother? Is there anything in the letter that is obviously relevant to him? (i.e. would I think about him while reading it, if I knew them?)

Was the letter in a safe? locked in a desk drawer or similar? Hidden inside a book? Inside their house? Did she tell the brother about this letter? Did she reveal the content?

If the the brothers were switched, would the reader kill his brother's wife? Where I'm trying to go is: Is there something particular in behaviour to the killer brother? Or does he kill because of the family's tradition, reputation, or similar? Is the brother's misunderstanding related only to who the letter was addressed? The assumption that it was addressed to him? Or is there some other assumption/misunderstanding relevant? Should we find out why he believed he was the recipient? | ||

Does the letter reveal one or more intentions of Estelle? If so, does the brother incorrectly interpret those actions? Does the brother assume that Estelle is going to do something that will endanger her? Endanger him? Did Estelle place the letter (after she wrote it) into a place that her husband typically would visit/examine?

Suffice to say that, in a rash moment, out of anger that she should betray his brother, as well as his own guilt (since he really is in love with her), he kills her.

"There's a particular reason why he thought the letter was for him"... because of where Estelle placed it after she wrote it? because of something Estelle had said to the brother at some point in the past? because of the particular wording of the letter? Had Estelle put the letter under a pillow? somewhere else on/in a bed? in a drawer? somewhere else in a bedroom? inside a vehicle? inside a book? on a shelf somewhere?

No because of something Estelle had said to the brother at some point in the past? No because of the particular wording of the letter? Noish Had Estelle put the letter under a pillow? somewhere else on/in a bed? No in a drawer? somewhere else in a bedroom? inside a vehicle? inside a book? on a shelf somewhere? Is the exact location of the letter relevant, No or just important that the brother found it before the husband did? Yes, but I think there's a bit of an FA here! because she referred to the intended recipient by pronouns (you, him, etc) and not by his actual name? Partly | ||

You said it is not relevant where the brother found the letter? But is it relevant why she put the letter somewhere? If I would write a letter to my husband I would take care that he finds it! Or is it a little game between them that they hide letters for each other so the other one could have a nice surprise? The situation she describes: Is it an everyday-situation like damia described? Or is it something special and it is a big coincidence that the brother could mistake it? | ||

Damia: does she do something like describe a fantasy, like saying when I saw you standing in the kitchen earlier I suddenly started thinking blah blah blah? Nope, but she could have.and the brother remembered having a conversation in the kitchen with her that day? No or whatever other room it may have been Lizzy: You said it is not relevant where the brother found the letter? Correct But is it relevant why she put the letter somewhere? It just wasn't meant for him to see If I would write a letter to my husband I would take care that he finds it! Well Estelle's is the kind of little private love letter that is written more for the writer's own indulgence than for the person addressed! Or is it a little game between them that they hide letters for each other so the other one could have a nice surprise? No The situation she describes: Is it an everyday-situation like damia described? Yopeish..a more general situation, not quite like the situation Damia described Or is it something special and it is a big coincidence that the brother could mistake it? No | ||

Does Estelle actually write 'you'? Like "every day I see you eating your cornflakes..." or does she write 'he' like "when he wears his blue shirt I could..."? Relevant? Is the content of the letter a delicate one? Or more romantic? Relevant? Is the concrete situation she is writing about relevant? When you say 'general' situation, do you mean something like living together? Does the letter describe fantasies of her? Or reality? Relevant? | ||

So Estelle could have even written this "letter" in a diary, or journal, or simply somewhere in which she freely express her thoughts and feelings for the sake of writing them down? Did she plan to eventually show her writings to anyone? Did she expect her husband to read that and other writings of hers? I'm just thiking...if Estelle was writing this 'letter' more for herself than for her husband, the brother may have stumbled onto other similar writings when he found this one...is this the case? | ||

With delicate I mean sexuality. Is she writing about erotic fantasies? Is it the hole content of the letter or a special part that makes the brother think she means him. I assume that with a little thinking he could see that she lives with her husband AND his brother. | ||

With delicate I mean sexuality. Is she writing about erotic fantasies? Doesn't really matter, actually. Let's say yes, to make it more exciting Is it the whole content of the letter Yesish or a special part Yopeish that makes the brother think she means him. I assume that with a little thinking he could see that she lives with her husband AND his brother. Indeed. | ||

Is she writing with ambiguity about her husband or their relationship? Is it something that is unknown to the brother, but at the same time obvious if it would be about him? For instance: "We see each other every day and we have always been friends. I want it to be passionate..."-ish? "Your physical disability..." and the brother is in a wheelchair-ish? | ||

No Is it an ordinary day-to-day thing? Yes Special moment? No PS. the "situation" she mentions is actually a pretty small factor. There was something else that made him automatically fit this situation to himself. | ||

Is it the way he reads the letter? Such as, when he reads "You" he always thinks it is about himself? Is his name "You"? Does she use "U" (as in I love U) instead of "You" in the letter, and his name starts with a "U" (Uriel, Ulises etc)? | ||

If her husband had seen the letter, had he been able to read and understand it? Has he got a disability, problems reading text, speaks another language? Is it written on the backside of something that links the paper to the brother? Such as another letter or note, a letter head, a photo etc? | ||

I think we can have a spoiler now! ************************SPOILER********************** Estelle leads a happy, peaceful life alone with her husband, until his brother runs into financial difficulties and comes to live with them. One day, Estelle writes a private, diaryesque and passionate letter to her husband. Afraid of the embarrassment she would feel if he read it, she wrote it in French, which her husband didn't understand. Unfortunately, the brother did, and thus assumed that this letter was meant for him, written in French on purpose so that his own innocent brother would be unaware of his wife's wicked desires. Overcome by rage towards Estelle for betraying his brother, and with guilt for his own forbidden lust, he seals her fate--to be the heroine of a lateral puzzle. The end! | ||
