I have just finished Chapter 14, so Isabel has now married Carlyle. Things can only go from bad to worse now, as Mrs Wood has warned us!

Agreed - the murder sub-plot was abruptly and clumsily introduced, but unlike the sub-plot in
Daniel Deronda, Wood will tightly intertwine events and characters between the main and sub-plot lines. In fact, the murder plot line will have major consequences in the main Isabel plot line.
