Lamb to slaugher: the theme

The theme is mystery/murderer/betrayal(?). But Mrs. Maloney wont be caught killing her husband. I don't think it's betrayal theme though, because i think Mary kills Patrick because when Patrick said her to not make dinner for him while she's still shocked about what he said to her i think she got angry/rages and kills her.

Out of anger and betrayal she murdered her husband with the frozen leg of lamb. Later she then cleverly roasted the murder weapon, the leg of lamb feeding it to the police
