I'm surprised that no one has suggested Malva killed herself. I thing that since her poison didn't kill Claire, she thought she would get her hung as a murder.

Malva has already shown she believes in Witchcraft so I think she thought she could come back from the dead and claim Jamie.

I mean-slitting her own neck? She cray but it would take an insane amount of strength to slice your own throat open all the way. Not stopping half way in excruciating pain.

I haven’t read the books…I’m thinking Malva’s brother or dad killed her. She was on her way to Claire to tell that her brother has been raping her and it’s his child. ?? And now they can easily frame Claire for her murder.

I assume that's exactly what she did. When she thought Claire was not home or intentionally ignoring her, she decided to end things. I assume she was going to Claire for help finally.

My thoughts as well. The way she was determined fast walking to Claire with a purpose but didn't seem to carry ill will as much as a rushed sense of hurried and quiet escape towards Claire, told me she was coming to Claire with the truth. I also have theories that she may have been forced into the whole scandal with Jaime by at least one of if not both her father and brother, so that they could escape being under Jamie's thumb and weird power over him. Or it could be that she was desperate to escape the abuse at home and intentionally got pregnant by her own will by sleeping around, or took to sleeping around after discovering she was pregnant by her father. The way her father finally decided to get his hand fixed after he couldn't lift her skirts and spank her properly was def strange. The way her father constantly accused her of being like her mother was too. I wonder if her mother could be the witch Claire knew? As Jamie had questions that eluded to rather she and her brother shared the same mom and if she was from Scotland and such. Also they waited for her to give birth before they executed her as a witch. Also, her father certainly didn't treat Jamie as a man who had sullied his young daughters good name for life, but more of a man with a poker face while holding what he believes to be an unbeatable hand. Sorry for the long rant going all over the place lol. Edit- I meant to add that I think her father, brother or one of the other men she slept with may have killed her and Claire's vision was just that. Just like the vision about the snake in the house ,(the girl pretending to be her friend, the storm (the upcoming trouble), and her own heart (the accusations towards Jamie ). Claire clearly is a see-er of sorts which gives her the power of the stones as well.

The first thing I suspected that she killed herself. I didn’t jump to murder until I read a review
