Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Volume I Hints
Who killed General Farnsworth Armstead?
1 of 8: Start by ruling out suspects who have an alibi or don't have a motive.
2 of 8: No one involved with the Polar Star Diamond can be guilty; Armstead was dead when Rostov arrived, and Carson Cabot was at home all morning.
3 of 8: You can also rule out Lord Fitch; his wife was sick, and he stayed with her.
4 of 8: Booth Lacey was at St. Mary's, Wentworth Cobbett was writing, and none of the Tontine survivors had a strong motive to kill Armstead.
5 of 8: Only one person had a reason to hate Armstead.
6 of 8: A recent event triggered the murder.
7 of 8: A death in his family, as a matter of fact.
8 of 8: The murderer is Phillip Arnaud, the actor.
