A Brief, but Complete Guide - 1895

Here's how I managed to successfully frame each person. As stated in the title, this guide is brief, but it is complete.

A Few Things to Note

To save time, you only need to ask the others about the specific person you intend to frame. As for dialogue choices, simply bring up your target's violent qualities or whatever makes them look abnormal. Do not bother talking to Lady Lenora. As strange as she is, she will also draw suspicion towards you.

I found this one to be the hardest out of all of them due to the more in depth choices. This is partially because you have to talk at the table, unlike the other two episodes. Rest assured though, this one is easy once you know the proper items and weapons to use.

What to Choose

Michael Bruce
Weapon: Corkscrew (basement)
Evidence: Loan Letter (drawing room)
Where to Plant: Thomas' Room

Note: When talking to Mother, be sure to bring up Nellie. Also bring up Michael's childhood rivalry with Thomas. This is one of the few times you will need to bring up other people as well. After killing Thomas, run to the Study or the parlour, as you will only have 6 seconds due to the amount of noise you made. These are the 2 easiest places to have a witness.

Father
Weapon: Dueling Pistol (parlour)
Evidence: Property Valuation File (library)
Where to Plant: Desk drawer in the parlour

Lady Lenora
Weapon: Poison (basement)
Evidence: Fan Letter (on the end table outside the library)
Where to Plant: Her purse in the drawing room

Nellie Bruce
Weapon: Hat Pin (guest room upstairs)
Evidence: Perfume (right bedroom in the basement)
Where to Plant: Suitcase in the guest room

Mother
Weapon: Scissors (master bedroom upstairs)
Evidence: Poem
Where to Plant: Master Bedroom

Nurse Ethel
Weapon: Meat Cleaver (Kitchen)
Evidence: Riding Crop (Thomas' bedroom upstairs)
Where to Plant: Underneath the kitchen counter

Note: Do not talk to Mother or Father for this one. Mother is simply out of it and will just ask for tea, while father will discuss how wonderful she is.

Suicide
Weapon: Poison
Evidence: Rejection Letters (Thomas' bedroom)
Where to Plant: In the library

You Die
Weapon: Bare Hands
Evidence: Does not matter
Where to Plant: Does not matter (you will get into a struggle and get beaten to death)

Dialogues to Avoid

Always imply that family is the most important thing to you. Since most of your family did not attend your husband's funeral, people will think that you may have some resent against them. All you need to do is redirect it.

The Whodunnit achievement works as well if you have managed to allievate suspicion on yourself and raised questions about someone but was there to give them an alibi: I was aiming to get Nellie framed and I panicked and put myself next to her on the landing, so even thought the cop was thinking her a possibility, at the end there was not enough to jail her and I got the achievement! Wanted to use the hammer though like yummycake_xian suggested though, so will try that later. Cheers

Ah I just discovered how to get the Whodunnit : use fan letter and set it on library and use hammer as weapon. That way, inspector will believe that a crazed fan broke into the house and kill Thomas with hammer.

yummycake_xian For that, try mixing up the weapons and evidence, i.e use ones that contrast each other. That way, there is no apparent motive or perpetrator.

What about the whodunnit?
