Tommy and Tuppence: By the Pricking of my thumb

Murdered:
Andes, Tommy's Aunt--> Death was possibly by poison.
-died on the same night when Mrs Lanchester went missing from the Summerville home.
-left a note that she could be murdered, there was something sinister about the Summerville home & the Portrait and Mrs Lanchester was in danger.

Lily Water--> twin of Lucy; died as a young child. She was killed by the fire in the chimney. Her story was unspoken of after the incident.

Nancy--> wife of a pastor and secretary of Sir Philip
-suspected of carrying a torch for Sir Philip
-seemed to be trying to prevent Tommy and Tuppence from learning something
-killed by poison

Danger:
Mrs Lanchester was abducted, most probably being put into a car.
-suspected of having other name: Mrs Yoke
-suspected to be the wife of Sir Philip

Suspects:
1) Pastor--> eccentric man, could have murdered his wife, Nancy out of jealousy.
But the death of Nancy might not be as simple as this, it could be due to the story of Lily Water.
2) Chris--> a policeman who was in love with Lucy. He was seen loitering outside the house, where Nancy was found to be poisoned. He was missing on the day Mrs Lanchester went missing from the Summerville home. He could possibly have abducted her.
3) Sir Philip--> the manor.
-his car was found to have mud on the tires. Tuppence found a polo sweet in the car, which she recognised it to belong to Mrs Lanchester.

Leads:
The portrait which Andes left behind had a cottage named "waterlily". Tuppence went on the look for the cottage fitting to the detail painted on the portrait. Later, she learnt that someone had tamped the portrait by adding colours and details on the painting.
