Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Volume I Hints
Why was Guy Clarendon killed?
1 of 6: There are two ways to answer the judge's question. You can work out the answer or you can use process of elimination. Although there's a perfectly logical way to solve this, it depends on your knowing the answer to another of the judge's questions. Since I don't want to answer a future question for you, I'll use process of elimination. Holmes will explain after the case is over if you want the explanation.
2 of 6: Clarendon didn't have any money, so Loretta wouldn't kill for it ("E").
3 of 6: Several people told you about the nature of Loretta and Guy's relationship. Both Langdale and Loretta gave you some important information.
4 of 6: The two weren't lovers, so you can rule out jealousy and a break-up as motives. Those are choices "B" and "D".
5 of 6: Choice "A", the murder was a joke, almost works, but that doesn't explain the cover up well at all.
6 of 6: That leaves only the Cleopatra Tiara as a motive. It's choice "C".
