Yes, very '50s, I guess.) In the end, what interests me most about the story is the location of the suicide house (Who could blame the ex?...and are you suggesting that your stepfather may have murdered her??. Retaining the suicide note of someone who is basically a stranger is certainly an eldritch note, if not downright creepy.) Overall...TMI?

So where's the house?
