1. What does Kate admire about Dalgliesh’s ability to Interview?
He keeps his interviews short and sweet. Plus, he asks questions that seem to the person being interviewed to be completely irrelevant to the situation, but this is how Dalgliesh tricks them into getting exactly the info he wants out of them.
2. Why do Kate and Dalgliesh think that Lampart told them story about Sir Paul Berowne saving his life?
To make Lampart not look like a suspect, I mean, why would Lampart would kill Sir Paul if Paul saved his life.
3. Dalgliesh asks Kate if she enjoyed herself in the interview, what is her response?
She does not tell want to lie to Dalgliesh, and he could probably tell if she was lying, so she told him the truth, which is that she liked the power she had over the person, and overall she did enjoy herself.
4. What makes Lampart a suspect? Give two reasons.
His really nervous attitude during the interview, plus his little side story about Sir Paul saving his life. Also, his past relationship with Sir Paul and Barbara Berowne make him a suspect. Also, Lampart is a doctor, so he would know how to make certain cuts look like suicide.
5. Why are the matches found at the crime scene such an important clue?
The matches are so imperative to the whole scene because they might be able t determine who lit the match, whether it was Paul Berowne, or the killer.
6. Who is Kynaston?
He is the Pathologist that did the autopsy on Sir Paul.
7. What is the estimated time of death?
The estimated time of death was to be between 7 pm and 9pm.
8. What is the Paternoster review?
It is a pretty well known newspaper company that is known for their book reviews.
9. Who is Conrad Ackroyd?
He is the owner of the newspaper company called the Paternoster review.
10. Describe him.
He is kind of round, he is pretty active, he has eyes that kind of slant upward, he has chubby cheeks, which is kind of weird since he is really active, and he moves with apparent grace.
11. What present does Dalgliesh give to Conrad’s wife?
Dalgliesh gives her a children’s book titled “Dulcy Plays the Game”.
12. What information does Dalgliesh get form Conrad? Name at least two things.
Dalgliesh gets a little bit more information about several suspects, also, he was told by Conrad the Sir Paul actually was at the Black Swan the night one of the girls Paul knew drowned in a river, which Sir Paul lied about.
13. Who is Melvin John’s? Why is he included in the story?
All we really know about Melvin right now is that he is a lover to Tracy, and that they were both witnesses in a sense since they saw a black car the night of the murder parked outside of the church. I am not quite sure why Melvin is included in the story, but I would venture to guess that if the author took the time to put him in the story, he will have more significance later on in the book.
14. Why did Sarah Berowne not respect her father anymore?
Because she suspects that he had something to do with the death of her mother.
15. Why are Sarah and Garrod lying about their activities on Tuesday night? Where were they really on the night of the murder?
They were really at a Marxist meeting. I would imagine that they lied because they don’t want people to know that they are into Marxism, and I suppose that it is possible that they had something to do with the murder, but I guess we’ll just have to find out now won’t we..
