CHARLOTTE TALBOT

Younger daughter of Lord and Lady Talbot

Key information

You are the youngest daughter of Lord and Lady Talbot. You are beautiful, flighty, and romantic - some lesser souls call you selfish or spoiled.

You read sensational novels, write terrible poetry, and imagine yourself the heroine of a great romance.

Your father adores you, and would do anything for you.

Secret

You are beginning to have romantic feelings for the handsome French naval officer, Henri Levesque. You caught him poking around your father's study this afternoon, and you had a frisson of sexual tension - you're sure he felt it too.

He left without taking anything; he seemed surprised and disappointed to have run into you there. It's a shame he's married... but does that really count, if he's French?

Goals

  • Make something dramatic happen. Maybe fall in love with someone?
  • Catch the murderer.

Items

  • A diamond necklace, worth around £200
  • Several amateurish oil paintings, by you, of the house and grounds

Clues

You borrowed a paint set from Marie-Claire Levesque. She was running very low on green paint. And now, she's running low on everything! (You produced some masterpieces.)

Did you kill Juliana Talbot?

Of course not! She's your mother.
