Is he dead or not?

Hi, I've just started playing Sleuth and I find it pretty intriguing and fun, so I'm eager to play more. But in my Beginner's cases, I've come across a couple that have me confused. It's the particular cases where, in those flavor scenes, I seem to see the victim walking around alive, even though I saw him dead at the crime scene.

In those cases, I've found lots of evidence, both physical and witness, that point toward a single person, but when I accuse that person, I find out that its all wrong.

Is there something in those particular cases that I'm missing?

The "twists" are only there for flavour, they don't add new evidence to the case. The only time a twist really has any meaning is the one with the faction info (the lady w/ the magnifying glass; Faction X will be pleased if you solve this case but Faction Y will not) and the LArry the Toe/Lucy's Cabaret twist (in New York only)

To make sure you are accusing the right person be sure to follow the formula.

PE + liar/none = guilty
WE + liar/none = guilty
WE + WE = guilty

It sounds like you are not making sure your suspect is a liar or has no alibi. If they clam up that does not mean they are guilty. PE + WE does not equal guilty, you need the alibi also.

And just in case you don't know yet what PE and WE is then:

PE = physical evidence
WE = witness evidence

Oh, and excellent name by the way ;)
