I am smart and charming and I already have: thread, rule bending, lock picking, research and sweet talking. What would you suggest I get next?

As the levels get harder, even with advanced sweet talking and very charming clothes (total score +18) you can only get two or three questions out of some suspects, sometimes only one. You really need a combination of smarts and either charm or tough skills.

I agree that starting out you should go for hair and thread skills first, then sweet talking and rule bending (or their tough equivalents).

Being tough and charming seems to be the only bad combination of attributes.

I like physical evidence, because witnesses and suspects lie, and you can never ask every witness about every suspect - they always clam up after one or two questions. So you can rarely rule someone out based on witnesses.

I regularly rule out suspects based on only witness evidence. I usually solve cases exclusively on witness evidence. I occasionally use physical evidence to eliminate suspects. I rarely use physical evidence to solve a case.

Different strokes...
