I really enjoyed The Paying Guests, but I had some questions after I finished reading. First, how did they manage to drag a body outside and down the street?

And Frances’ mother totally knows something is up, right? She doesn’t pursue any lines of questioning that would end revealing Frances as accessory to a murder, because she doesn’t want to ask any questions that might point to Frances’ love life.

Finally, Lil and Frances definitely go off together in the end, but how do they manage it? Do they pretend to be roomies? (That’s not gonna fool Frances’ mom for one second.) Do they both move away after the investigation, and just happen to settle in the same place? Do they go live in the building with Christina and her girlfriend? I need to know how they manage it!
