The Loch

It's gone beyond Midsommer with gore - I'm watching from behind the sofa now!

Were we watching the same programme NfkDumpling?

I didn't see any gore at all, apart from a tiny bit when that bloke was stabbed at the end...

Me neither just that last fight but nothing too bad tonight Whats the lie the police woman's husband wants to tell
Oh what a tangled web

Yes, I think the 'bloody gruesome' warning at the beginning was a bit OTT.

I suppose it's psychological gore! I have a vivid imagination and that body in the lake is really freaking me. My fear of drowning coming to the fore.

I am enjoying this. As someone said it's like a Scottish Broadchurch. I didn't think it was gory and |I don't actually have any problem with hearing the Scottish accents though I always do with 'Southern' dramas! What does that say about where I originate?!

Nailing my colours to the mast here.......
DH and I think the murderer is Petrie, he had the opportunity to hide the hammer etc in the loft at Dessie's house.
Was it the rifle that Dessie had in the bag when the group went to visit the hydroelectric dam? Or was he telling the truth, and it was his curling kit?
My money says Dessie was carrying his curling gear, Petrie had the rifle hidden in readiness, and he killed 'red haired boy' (can't remember his name), attempted to kill Kieran, and then shot Dessie, attempting to make it look like suicide!
Of course, all the above could be utterly, utterly wrong.....I shall find out tomorrow evening!

Why would Dessie take his curling gear on the hydro visit? It annoyed me that all this kids were seemingly allowed to wander around a power station unsupervised.

Agree Petrie seems likely.

Dessie said he had curling practice straight after the hydro visit!

Aha! I wasn't paying full attention!

I wonder about the lad with Locked in Syndrome. How locked in is he really? It seems to be his medication keeping him there - and why is he in the plot? Perhaps Petrie is too obvious.

I wondered if the lads mother was giving him extra medication to prevent him getting out of his bed? There is something odd there

Yes I thought I saw the mother of the boy with locked in syndrome giving him IV insulin, keeping him in a coma ?

Yes, he's definitely being over medicated. Suspicious!

The boy with 'locked in' syndrome is definitely being over medicated, but I don't have him down as a/the murderer, he looks too well drugged to be able to function enough to commit murder,
Or, perhaps Nessie is slithering out of the loch and doing the dirty deeds?

The locked-in syndrome boy's brother's now discovered his dirty bare feet so knows he's been up and about - the mother will have some explaining to do tonight!

So, anyone care to have a guess who the killer is?

I think that the ' locked in' boy must be something sinister or else what would be the point in him .... Petrie is the most obvious but .....

Well, not sure about that, as the pregnant girl and doctor didn't have a point in the story, just a red herring.

DH thinks there is an Army link though ( the young man who is kept drugged by his Mother, presumably to keep him safe) may have a point in the story or could be just another side show.

Roses
I had a guess at who the murderer is in my message of 21:54:15 last night,
I'm probably wrong, but hey, it wouldn't be for the first time!

I don't know who it is, but what a lot of weirdos living close together. It will be interesting to see what will happen to Petrie. You get castigated for one small accident on a school trip, god knows what would happen if kids were shooting each other!! Afraid I can't take it seriously.

Ah, yes juggernaut but is Petrie too obvious?
Could it be John Sessions ? That would be a turn up for the book.

Got visitors arriving on Monday, so won't see The Loch ( or GN) until Wed night, so will have to wait, grrrr.
