You are cordially invited to solve this murder.
You have everything you need: the suspects, the motives, the secrets. (Do watch out for those red herrings, though.)
Every clue is right there in front of you. I've played fair—I always do.
You won't solve it, of course. Not when I'm the one writing it.
But it's oh-so-fun to watch you try. . . .
