To make it more clear above, don't open a case that's too hard to solve, & for sure if you don't possess enough skills to help strengthen your arch type & help make the client talk. It doesn't take that long go start with the Easy cases and work up to the Almost Impssible level:)

It's important to get your full suspect list, as DaRu says, by asking each person about others with a motive FIRST. You'll get to know how many suspects will complete your list on each level, as there is a range. I think in easy cases it's 5-6 suspects. You can confirm this also by paying the fortune teller $20 to find out if you need to talk to anyone else. The FT's messages are somewhat cryptic, but not too hard to figure out after a while...
I wouldn't necessarily say that you have to ask about alibi as your second question. Some people do, and in the beginning it might be your best bet as you likely will not find all the evidence until your smarts skills increase, but my method of solving doesn't have me ask about the alibi until later in the process, so just wanted you to know there are different options there.
Whereas getting the suspect list to be complete is pretty critical. If you don't get a complete suspect list, and your killer isn't on it, and the suspects and townspeople are all clammed up, there is no way to get more suspects and then case will not be possible to solve.
There are some subtle exceptions to this with the right help from a faction or in an agency, though.
