As usual I´m super late, but I needed to tell you that I really enjoyed this FM, thank you so much for it! :D I really got hooked on the story, I even wrote down the names after reading the diaries so to remember who is who.
There´s just sth. in the story I didn´t quite get the hang of:
<spoiler>So Lord Barringer (the body Robert Barringer, in the diary Richard Barringer - I guess you just couldn´t decide for a name :P) was married to Melissa Barringer. Melissa cheated on him and married Lord Bentley (Garrod Bentley), who in return cheated on his wife Elfina. Elfina was pregnant and Garrod wanted to raise the baby together with Melissa, so he planned on killing Elfina, her servants Imogene and Michael and take the baby with him. But instead, Melissa herself got pregnant and Elfinas baby died. Elfina also died after giving brith to it (or rather cause she was poisened by Garrod).
What I dont understand is: in Melissas diary she writes about how her baby was taken from her by Mr. Bentley and that he wants to raise it with his new wife. What is that about? Was that a mistake or does the story continue? Reading Mr. Bentleys diary the last thing he wrote about was how happy he is with melissa and that he wants to poison Elfina so he can be with Melissa. Why would he leave Melissa then and take the baby from her?</spoiler>
You mentioned working on a Lord Maguire Estates 2, was it release already? I looked for it but couldn´t find it:angel:
