I think it alludes to much - Patrick, the frozen leg of lamb, the detectives who dine on the lamb.

Don't you just hate it when no one answers your question in the first thirty minutes? And all the answers you get after that are utterly not useful, I'm afraid that this is one of them, however I've read all the 19 children books by roald dahl, and forgot about most of them, and I remember hearing about a story where a husband kills his wife using a lamb, or vice versa by roald dahl, anyway, he's a great author.

i think that the lamb was mary. i mean, nothing happened to the unborn baby, it was just used as the reason for mary maloney's decision to cover up her crime. and patrick? he can't be considered a "lamb", coz think about it, he wasn't very innocently led to his death, he provided the cause. mary, on the other hand, didn't plan let alone expect to kill her husband at the end of the day. she was the unassuming, dutiful Stepford wife, the "lamb" that was led "to slaughter".

Usually it is the woman. But here since she kills the husband, the husband and the other men are the lambs who are slaughtered by her. Both literally and figuratively.

Could it be the frozen lamb she used to kill her husband?
Oh, well. Maybe I took it too literally.
