How do YOU solve cases?

Just wondering how everyone goes about solving a case? do you get alibis and a list of all suspects with motives first or do you go to town first so you waste fewer questions on suspects? My method is doing ok at the minute but think it could fail on harder cases where people talk to you less.

(Under 10, I keep in to account that once I have identified someone with a townie, I need to be able to ask their alibi question as well.)

I never guess the killer, rather quit. In my early days I guessed more, but now going to Shady would send me in to financial ruin, even though being one of the richest people in sleuth. Bad return of investment that shady guy.

Yes, very bad idea to quit, even when Shady isnt' so expensive. . guess that's how you get the be one of the richest people in Sluethville. :) I've gotten lucky guessing far less times that I have gotten stung. :)

Gena, when Shady starts asking for 500K to clear your record, you might want to be a little more careful about those guesses. Quits have no effect on your detective, and there are always more cases to come.

Uh, Jstkdn, I was going to open up a brand new question topic for this, but I'd rather just ask you right here since you mentioned it. What exactly does the Research skill do?

CFM
my last comment was supposed to be constured that I'm AGAINST guessing, not for it. Guess it did look a little um vague. I meant bad idea to GUESS, whoopsie!

I'm the lazy one who doesn't like to follow links, so for anyone else like me. . . research allows you to eliminate one suspect can be done in city hall, hall of records. Must have research skill.
