I'm currently doing a favor, and it's on hard level, three threads found at the crime scene, the tailor clammed after the first question, there are three suspects, all suspects clammed. This favor is for the banker, so I'm hoping he will become a contact.......any suggestions or should I quit?

My advice is to quit- but you ONLY have three contacts? Did you ask the townspeople if they have any useful information?
However, if the tailor has already clammed up, you won't be able to use him to point to any one person. I would suggest quitting. You'll have plenty of other chances with the banker, don't worry.

I have eight suspects but I worked it down to three suspects with false/no alibis. All eight clammed up. I can only ask one question or two after I get alibi and motive.

Well, if the evidence won't point to a suspect because the tailor clammed up, and you can't get the other suspects to point to one person, the smartest thing to do is to quit that case. If you guess wrong, paying Shady will cost WAY more than it's worth now.

Toxin, I am sure you've sorted this out already. BUT I would say, weigh the risk. With three possibles, you have a roughly 33% chance with a guess of being right, and if you can afford to pay Shady, then you could risk it. Just make sure you don't already have two false accusations, and make an informed choice!

Um... You also have equipment that you could switch out. I don't know what skills you have, but with a tough and charming character, I would go with tough or charming equipment. The chemist kit is for smart characters. Choose equipment that best suits your skills.

All the items I have are from favors, I didn't have to pay a dime. The only reason why I'm keeping those right now is because I don't need the money. I would try to guess whose guilty and hope to get it right but I paid shady over 4 times now.......lol, at least he was cheap for me.
