Please don't all say duh at once. I've done a couple of cases and then subscribed. I'm on my first case - green specter - and i have only alibi and motive questions for the suspects. I have motive & alibi for all, but now i'm stuck. Don't i get the 'do you suspect anyone' questions?

Not everyone agrees with me. BUT what I say is, the featured mysteries seeem to me to be harder than their assigned difficulty level. Though they are quite different from the random mysteries, I did much better on them after I had been subscribed for a while and had gotten comfortable with the hardest random cases and had gotten my skill and experience levels way up. In sum, my best advice is to wait until later and tackle them again.

Having said that, a false accusation on a featured mystery won't go on your record, so even if you are stumped, it's okay to make a guess.

Yes. FMs do seem harder than their difficulty. Those intermediates should be AT LEAST incrediblies.

Yeah they are absolutely harder, I agree with Dr Falco. This is simply because you have to read, and because they work differently. You don't have any frame of reference, compared to your experience in the normal games.
