Do you have tips for detectives about playing SLEUTH? Please send them in. It would be a great discussion for all people stuck on a particular part of the game.

Another tip that may sound like a no-brainer:
In doubt, quit. It's a lot better to have another case quit than a false accusation in your record.
Ofr course, if you're part of an agency, you can also file your case with as much information as you can possibly collect.

My tip is that: If you're in a mystery and you think you have all your suspects but you are not sure if they are complete (probably you're afraid of a suspect clamming up) you could pay the fortune teller to consult the fates.........*please someone should complete it for me*

I can fill in on that - every mystery has between 5 and 12 suspects. A beginner's mystery will start with 5 and will grow directly proportional with the level of difficulty. Consulting the fates at the Fortune Teller will yield one of three possible results:

'You have only just begun...' meaning you need to find at least three more suspects.

'You have already passed many signposts...' meaning you need to find up to two more suspects.

'...all the actors have taken the stage...' which, of course, means that you have found all the suspects.

From the works of Arthur Conan Doyle:

In which case does Sherlock Holmes almost accidentally kill himself and Watson while trying to prove his theory?
