Art of Murder: Hunt For The Puppeteer - Montoute Mansion, Cuba, April 21, 2008 - de Bougainville family hacienda - game guide, walkthrough, secrets, game tips & strategies

The car takes Nicole all the way to the mansion gates. After getting through she notices that the hacienda is in the state of decomposition. She enters the house and looks around the once-great hall. She goes to the left corner of the area (zoom in) and finds a grindstone (closeup) – it seems to be only missing the operating belt to work (on the left) going into the right corner of the room she notices a guanabana fruit up high, but has no way of reaching it.

She then head right and reaches another room. After getting to the door she enters the room behind it and notices the lemon balm shrub on the ground and a hiding place on the wall on the other side (close up). In order to reveal the hiding place a stone has to be moved, only to reveal that it is empty. That's pretty much all Nicole can learn from the hacienda – on her way out she takes a look at the dry fountain and recalls the smell of thyme.

Back outside Nicole meets a sympathetic native, Manuel who's repairing his vehicle by the wall on the right. He has lost a nut, but luckily Nicole has one spare (from the archivist's glove compartment) – this solves the problem. Manuel suggests that madame Budoe living in a village nearby, that can provide Nicole with an additional information on the family. Nicole heads right.
