2. It's technically a small buffed sheriff, that has no will.

It's kinda useless, as Sheriff already does this. Gumshoe is a name used for detective, primarily used in the videogame "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?", where the NPCS refer to you as "Gumshoe" as you work your way up the Detective ranks. This role can either be really useful or completely useless if there is a Blackmailer as you have no will. If someone is claiming bodyguard, you can investigate them and find out if they are Neutral or Town, assuming you don't die that same night. If they are neutral, that means they are either the Godfather or Arsonist. This role can also be an Executioner claim, if no Investigator exists in that role list.

The problem is that it's a slight buff on the sheriff. Really we could just buff the sheriff to do this.

I'm not hating the role though. It's a good idea.
