THe most complicated part is knowing what kinds of clues and evidences to place, as well as other things such as knowing how to mislead the main character and the audience into thinking that the culprit is someone else. For example, before finding out that Red Fork was indeed the culprit, there were moments that pointed towards Electra and Bright Spark. It's a complex structure overall, but by organizing and planning it out carefully from the beginning, it can be done.

By the way, did you check out my new ideas, including my idea to start a new IaLR series? I already know how mystery genre works due to the two franchises I mentioned... Okay, maybe not fully because almost all of their cases are murder cases, but I think this is how it works:

Think of the whole truth first as your basis. After that, disassemble them but you need to make sure of a lot of things. Don't just make them obvious, or what's the point? You also can't just leave unanswered mysteries for no reason! Think of your audience, then try to think to make it so that they'll try to make guesses by themselves before your story itself will show the whole truth. Leave clues that don't give away said truth right away but at least vaguely for most of them... Also, make some suspects first, and make a couple of misleadings for both the audience and the characters.

It's what I think about the mystery genre and even I think it's quite complicated to make one worth reading.

Working with you... Later, as I need to sort the mess up.

As for your ideas, I saw them and I approve.
