SALMA the deceased's wife - tolerated all his antics, obviously for money. ANTHONY, the eldest son, received insultingly small sums from his father, but he was used to idleness and wanted to live “on a large scale”.
DEAK, the younger son, was forced to obey his father in every way.
LETICIA, DEAK's wife, had no opportunity to live her own life.
JEAN-JACQUES, the friend of the family and the father of LETITIA, had been deceived by Henry and could desire revenge.
BARBARA, the mistress, apparently persuaded the old man to rewrite the will to her. BETSY, Henry's sister, was denied access to the common inheritance for many years. CATHERINE, the nephew, finds herself closer than ever to a life of luxury, her mother the heiress to her family nest.
LUDWIG, the butler, may know too many of this family's secrets.
PRUDENCE, the cook, once had affairs with young Henry, and may have secrets of her own.
ERIC, the driver, is a man with a dark past.
What confuses you is this. Henry grew up in this house. He's known this staircase since he was a kid, like every corner of his house. He could have walked blindly through the whole house in the dark, no doubt about it. So something must have happened that day. Something unusual, out of the ordinary. Ask the people present a question about it. What was different about that day than it always was?
You were sure that everyone in the family would be ready to grieve in public and swear how much they loved Henry. However, now it seems to you that some don't even plan to do that. It seems as if everyone's lives have become easier with the old man gone. Try to understand who and how they really felt about him. Watch what they say and turn on all your professional skills. Someone is definitely lying here!
