Oh good. I was on the right track but didn't think to assert it that way. Thanks.

I was enjoying this a lot until I got to the third stage - I've got all the clues, but now I'm in a different mode with a very different sort of voice that just spews profanity at me after gloating about its crimes. I feel like I've failed Cheree and this is quite unpleasant. What power do I have to make things better? Any possibility of retaining the general nature of the character (trying to avoid spoilers here) while toning down the profanity?

That did it! She had previously told me about Martha's many stab wounds, but I somehow didn't manage to follow up on that. I asked her again about Martha's body and managed to get on the right track from there. Thanks.

Almost to level 10 now. Amusingly, I said "that's fun" to a comment she made in Bassey Study about the books, and she said, "What scrapbook? Or what about a scrapbook? I think you're getting ahead of things." I know from the other comments that there will be a scrapbook later, but I hadn't mentioned it! I don't know where that reply came from.

I'm at 8/9 clues with only George Yard and Bassey Study left uncleared. I'm maybe three notches away from R level 10. But I'm stuck with no idea what else to ask about.

Evocative and so polished. Play and play again. Choice-based storytelling at its best.
