This thread is for game hints. Feel free to add anything you've figured out for yourself.

Hint-> Be careful who you accuse. 3 false accusations on your record will retire your detective. However, the Shady Character in the bar can help you clean up your record if you've made too many mistakes. It'll cost you though.

Guilty here too, Miss Wiles.

When you look up someone, what does "Rank: n" mean? n being a number. Is the lower number a higher rank, or a lower rank?

Maybe it's just me, but I find that it pays to match Witness evidence with the alleged killer's motive. If the motive was robbery, and the witness saw the accused wearing the victim's watch the next day, then it seems more likely that the accusation is correct. I can't back this up, but that seems to be the case.

Could just be me, but I've noticed that if you go to a suspects home and they aren't there, and then return later, they are much more liable to clam up on the first question than if you catch them at home the first time around.

I think this is because the first time you go and they're not in, you get the option to pick the lock, which essentially gives you one free question.

Just once I'd like to just kick the door down and ransack the place..

Yes, about this. I find it an annoyance, when you don't have Lock Picking, to bump into a closed door. Is it possible to have only those with Lock Picking encountering the "not at home" scenario? I know it's only one or two clicks more, but sometimes I find it annoying.

Wayne, it just occured to me while I was picking a lock a moment ago, if I hadn't seen how often the opportunity came up when I didn't have the skill, I would not have been able to accurately judge the value of adding it to my "tool box".

Damn, Chuck, you beat me too it. I was going to suggest the same thing. I'm not what you'd call a tough guy, but even I've been looking longingly at the hardcover copy of the "Lockpicker's Handbook" that Chuck thinks no one will find hidden under the middle sofa cushion in his office. If I didn't find an empty house so often, I wouldn't realise the value..

HINT for NEW DETECTIVES:
You may find it easier to advance your character if you focus your efforts on learning skills and collecting equipment that enhance your "natural talents" instead of trying to make up for your character's weaknesses.
