Once - or if he was honest, more than once - Jim calculated that if all his family died in mysterious circumstances - perhaps in a country mansion with a mad poisoner on the loose – he’d be rather comfortable, financially. Except, knowing his luck, Jessica Fletcher, Poirot and Scooby Doo would all be guests.
At least Ingrid had the luck to have two parents who'd died quickly, if a tad messily, in a head-on smash with an Eddie Stobart truck ("Daisy-May"); they might have been “working class” but at least, on buying the farm (or rather, being reduced to so much Bratwurst) they had left her a share of theirs.
