Coordinate note: R1 means row 1, C1 means column 1, and R1C1 is the upper-left cell. This is a 9×9 grid.
Who can be the man sitting in a chair, two rows north of (H)? The only chairs that can be two rows north of (H) are in the Living Room or in the Guest Bedroom, in a corner, which excludes (C), (D) and (F). (E) is then the only man who can sit in a chair two rows north of (H). (E) is alone either in the Living Room or in the Guest Bedroom. (A) per her own clue is alone in the Guest Bedroom or in the Main Bedroom. (C) is in the Main Bedroom or in the Living Room, but not with (A) or (E). In other words, the Living Room, Main Bedroom and Guest Bedroom all must be occupied by (A), (E), (C) in any order. The Kitchen is occupied by (D) and the Hallway is occupied by (B), the only area with any carpet. This leaves the Washroom as the only possible empty room, block every square in the Washroom. There is exactly one available square in R9. This is a 9x9 grid with exactly 9 characters, there's exactly one person per row, so someone must be in R9C7. Block the rest of C7. (A), alone and on a bed, can't be alone in the Main Bedroom anymore. She must then be on the R3 bed. Block the rest of R3, and block the rest of the Guest Bedroom. This isolates someone in the last R1 square : R1C2. Block the rest of C2. This isolates (E) on the last chair, block the rest of the Living Room. This sets (H) two rows south of him in R8. This isolates (C) in the last square beside a TV, then (A), then (H). This isolates (B) on the last carpet square, and (G) in the last square beside a shelf. This isolates (D) in the last square in the Kitchen in R1C2 and (F) in the last square beside a plant in R9C7. This isolates (V) in the last square in R7C4, alone with (B). Bonnie is the murderer!
