"The problem with Silas Marner as a soporific is that it's a relatively short novel, so if one is reading\n \n\n\n\tit consecutively, it won't last that long and one will have to find a new book as a sleep aid.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tElster killed his wife. He already had Judy pretending to be Madeleine and hired Scotty to follow her\n \n\n\n\tbecause he knew when it came time to throw his wife off the tower Scotty would not be able to follow\n \n\n\n\tJudy through the trap door and up so he would not see Elster throwing his dead wife off the tower\n \n\n\n\tand thus Scotty would think Judy was the wife and had been killed, when she really hadn't. I think it's\n \n\n\n\timplied that Gavin was doing Judy, though it's never made all that explicit. Kim Novak was made up\n \n\n\n\tto look like Elster's wife to fool Scotty. After the murder she returned to her original look. It was\n \n\n\n\tstupid to stay in SF, but maybe she figured the chance of running into Scotty in a big city was minimal.\n \n\n\n\t \n "
