Introduction
I know that Carolyn is more of a support investigator but I almost exclusively play solo and I didn't want to miss out on her rather intriguing abilities and deckbuilding rules. So here it is, a solo Carolyn who did pretty well at the first scenarios of The Path to Carcosa.
Purpose
Simply put : investigate conventionally, generate resources with horror healing to pump fight tests and murder things.
Piloting
Mulligan for assets (except Hypnotic Therapy), dump the rest. The dream hand is a weapon, Peter Sylvestre, Forbidden Knowledge and Physical Training. Should you fail to have Physical Training in the first few turns, you have Inquiring Mind, Take the Initiative, Steadfast and Unexpected Courage to pump you fight tests.
Once you have Physical Training and the Forbidden Knowledge / Peter Sylvestre resource engine, you should have no problem and all these skill cards can be committed for the most difficult investigation tests. Working a Hunch is there for the occasional very high shroud location.
Meat Cleaver is the preferred weapon since it can generate more resources by healing horror but Enchanted Blade can do a pretty good work as well. Note that St. Hubert's Key can help you get the +2 from the Meat Cleaver.
With Peter Sylvestre, the Meat Cleaver and Carolyn's hight sanity pool you should be safe so Logical Reasoning is only there to clear Rational Thought which can totally block your resource generation.
Upgrading
Depending on the campaign, there are many ways to go thanks to Carolyn's wide deckbuilding rules. Some upgrades to consider :

Jun 10, 2019He means to heal the horror off of Rational Thought in increments of 2 at a time, I think. |
Jun 10, 2019Logical Reasoning to heal the horror off Rational Thought indeed. With XP, Clarity of Mind does a better job at it. |
Jun 20, 2019I'd say Carolyn really benefits from another investigative tool. Something like Flashlight, Magnifying Glass, or even Hawk-Eye Folding Camera. You could probably toss Eureka for one of those. |
Jun 20, 2019You cannot use weapon 1-5 level....or I'm wrong? |
Nov 04, 2019All the weapons mentioned are level 0 so they're legal. |
You cannot use Logical Reasoning to remove Rational Thought since it's not a Terror card
