Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Volume I Hints

Why did Frances go to Halliday's?

  • 1 of 6: Well, if you know the murderer already, this question shouldn't be hard.
  • 2 of 6: Remember that Dr. Trevalyan took care of Loretta.
  • 3 of 6: Trevalyan worked at the Mesmer-Braid Institute for a while.
  • 4 of 6: And Mesmer was the father of hypnotism.
  • 5 of 6: Do you think that Loretta learned a bit of this skill from Trevalyan?
  • 6 of 6: Of course she did.  The answer is choice "B" -- Frances was hypnotized.
