I have two suspects so far. One has told me everything, the other will tell me NOTHING but his aliby. What should I do?

Heh.. given that they pretty much jive with the way I work out cases (though I'll note that getting the second level interrogation skill made a HUGE difference in whether or not I could work a case one level up from where I'd been :))

Warning! Fat Chuck's strategy doesn't always work. I got a favor case where 1 pointed to 2, 3 and 4, so using this strategy I asked 2 alibi, then motive and he clammed. No problem, I still have 3 and 4 to see. 3 pointed only to 4 and 4 pointed only to 3. Dead end. (Since each suspect seems to be known by at least two others, I thought at first it was a bug, a closed loop.)

That's tough. I say wait until you have more than half of your suspects (in incredibly hard and under the max is eight) before you ask alibi first. Chances are one of the ones you have did it anyway. I haven't had any problem with this strategy, yet anyway. Good luck!
