Hello,
I already got the following skills, being a smart/charming sleuth:
Hand Writing Analysis
Footprint Analysis
Research
Stress Detection
Sweet Talking
Lock Picking
Interrogation
Judge of Character
Rule Bending
Advanced Thread Analysis
Advanced Hair Analysis
Flirting

Should I save enough points to get Hypnotism, or should I get something else earlier?

Thanks in advance :)

I'd recommend that your highest priority be moving up the ladder of rule bending and sweet talking (if you haven't already, but you didn't have the advanced versions listed in your skill set). Those upgrades will pay dividends with EVERY suspect and townie.

Only then would I worry about Hypnotism - which potentially saves you questions in every case (YMMV).

After that if you have access to a change of smart clothing I'd say you strongly consider Surveillance before Underworld Connections. Surveillance gives to a chance to ask any suspect of your choosing a few more questions. UC lets you gain access to a suspect not of your choosing but grants no extra questions - they return clammed. You can get the same effect by using Stress Detection to make sure that each townie has one question remaining until late in the case.
