Okay, I'm finishing up last-minute edits so here's hoping I can nab quick responses. I want to ensure I have the details right so someone isn't reading later and rolling their eyes.
Currently, the situation I have set up in my MS:
Women, not obese (I've heard that makes a difference?), dies from a gunshot to the head. The body is indoors in a bedroom, not exposed to the elements or anything. The house is about an hour inland from the West coast, December, so it's pretty chilly.
My question: after two weeks, what kind of state would this body be in? How would it look, how would it smell? I'm wanting the characters to be able to be in the house without noticing it right away, but I'm not sure what the conditions would need to be for that to happen.
Thoughts? I know we have some experts lurking around.
