I first read this book as a teenager and obediently believed that Tod had committed the murder. On rereading, I was flung into much the same on the one hand on the other hand on the how many hands are we at analysis that you do so efficiently above. I have never completely believed in any one solution since then. What really still inclines me towards the theory of Tod, when I incline at all, is the scene you point out, with the yellow blossom. That in the end is more persuasive, though not utterly so, than the more rational causes also presented.
It's a very weird sneaky book, she says, and then realizes that this description in no way distinguishes it from any other of Jackson's books.
