What is the Hermit’s mother in law’s attitude toward him as seen in her letter? She stands by his story fully and that she sees that his story is the only way they could have died.
What does this suggest about the way in which the Hermit’s family actually died? I still stand by that he is innocent and that he only shot them to put them out of misery
What makes Ellie change her mind about Lee on the way back from the Hermit’s hut? The coroner’s report and that it had no emotions in it and she doesn't want to end up like that.
