The Seaview Hotel

The Seaview’s staff trimmed the great tree in the lobby. As the star went on top, a guest who had complained all week was found dead.

The victim: a complaining guest. Took the last square, alone with the murderer.

Biscuit’s hints

How to play
  1. One person per row and one per column, the victim included.
  2. People stand only on open squares (the map key shows which). Anything else blocks the square.
  3. Every clue is true.
  4. The victim took the last square: the row and column left over.
  5. Exactly one suspect was in the victim’s room, and that suspect did it.
