Landlady question

Landlady

The landlady : Question's

Imagery: this story uses excellent imagery as in the following example's captured from the story The landlady.

Example #1
But now, even in the darkness, he could see that the paint was peeling from the woodwork on their doors and windows, and that the handsome white façades were cracked and blotchy from neglect.
Example #2

His landlady wasn’t there, but the fire was glowing in the hearth, and the little dachshund was still sleeping in front of it. The room was wonderfully warm and cosy. 
What has the Landlady been up to? Be sure to give at least two examples to prove your point 
She was the murderer who poisoned Billy with cyanide in his tea
"The tea tasted like bitter almond"

She was preparing the poison.
"She fussed about with the saucer's in the kitchen"

Question 7
I like the ending since it holds suspense for the sequel to build up hype till the next story is out or just to make you imagine the rest of the story yourself if there is no sequel to the story.
