Rule the suspects down. By this point in the novel, there should only be about 3-4 suspects. Remember that whatever you do, don't make it predictable. Jumble it up so the reader can't guess quickly. A good idea is to make all of the suspects innocent, and there is a very unexpected person that is the murderer. That would be exciting and would throw your reader totally off-track!
