Often, detectives will try to look inconspicuous - not unlike a mafioso. Look for them among players who make one or two short posts per turn, and more only if they have to.

As the game progresses, look for someone who consistently draws some suspicion, but not enough to get lynched. Such a person may be a detective trying to make sure he's not a tempting target for you.
