Ok another newbie question...
When buying skills do you buy what you can afford... ie the cheapest skills you get first.... or do you save up and get certain skills? IE do you buy the smart skills if you are a smart archtype for example?

Everyone has their own theory on this, but here is mine.

First buy Thread analysis and Hair analysis. Without these skills (basic only) you will not notice the evidence.

Then buy intimidation/interigation if you are tough, or rule bending/sweet talking if you are charming. These will dramatically improve your ability to get questions answered.

From there, continue getting the skills for the type you are and evidence analysis until you have them all, except stress detection and judge of character, and Lock Picking and Research. Once you have them all for your type start on judge of character and the other type so you can choose the most effective style for each suspect.

Hope that helps!

I suggest getting the more expensive things first, because skill points become harder to get as you get more experience points. That way getting that Last skill you need won't take as long in the end.

I personally would get research in the beginning. It's a REAL help.

I think a combo of all three above.. the analysis ones are mandatory, but I would get lock picking and research as soon as possible.. both of them save you from asking a number of questions.. and help eliminate suspects

Your type Rivergallery is smart and charming. So a combination of smart and charm are the ones I would get. You wont need tough skills if you get a good amount of charm, and it would be a waste of skill points in having both tough and charm at this stage. The only exception would be lock picking but even that skill could be bought later. Research is a helpful skill as it will remove one person from your fake alibi suspect list.
