Give the world a texture
Choose visual inspiration for the setting.
Build an earned story arc
Turn a craft decision into a clearer brief.
Give evidence two meanings
Decide what a clue really establishes before choosing its misleading explanation. Both readings should fit the visible evidence. A satisfying solution changes the interpretation of an earlier detail rather than adding a fact the reader could never know.
Separate motive from proof
A suspect can have an excellent reason to lie without being responsible for the central crime. Give each secret a function in the investigation, and let the sleuth test an explanation through observable evidence.
Make the ending reconstructable
Trace the solution backward through the evidence the reader has already encountered. The explanation should answer the main practical questions and reveal what the sleuth understood, without depending on an unseen confession.

Should both detectives narrate?
Only if their viewpoints add something distinct. Alternating narration works best when each section changes the reader's understanding rather than repeating the previous scene.
