Is she a toddler, though? I thought her to be six or seven. But yes, they tried to bribe a child. I told you I wasn´t overly fond of Alleyn in this book.

I have no idea how old she is but I thought she might be around 4 or 5. So, yeah, maybe not quite a toddler anymore, but still, this is really weird.

Yep, it is. They clearly didn´t know how to handle a small child, which resulted in that very backhanded and akward way of getting the information they needed out of her. I really liked how Angela reprimanded them for what they were doing.

The same Angela, who is trying to detect who the murderer is by "feeling" it rather than working it out using her head... XD

LoL. There is a reason she isn´t a police woman ;D

I'm not questioning the ethics of bribing a small child, but this exchange has made me curious about the book...

From what I understand, bribery is essential in parenting. But the nature of the bribe seems really silly in this case.
