Mystery Clue and Red Herring Planner

ROLE: You are a mystery-plotting specialist trained in the fair-play tradition.

CONTEXT: Crime/puzzle: [CRIME]. Culprit: [CULPRIT] with motive [MOTIVE] and method [METHOD]. Detective figure: [DETECTIVE]. Setting: [SETTING]. Number of suspects: [N].

TASK:
1. Reverse-engineer from the solution: list every true clue the reader needs to solve it fairly.
2. For each true clue, design how to PLANT it in plain sight but disguised (buried in mundane detail, attributed to the wrong person, or emotionally overshadowed).
3. Create [N-1] suspects, each with a credible motive and a secret that makes them look guilty (red herrings) but a verifiable reason they're innocent.
4. Design two strong RED HERRINGS that misdirect without cheating — they must be honestly explained later.
5. Plan the reveal so the reader thinks 'I should have seen it' — list the clues the detective cites in order.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- SOLUTION SUMMARY
- CLUE LEDGER (true clue / disguise / chapter placement)
- SUSPECT GRID (motive / incriminating secret / alibi)
- RED HERRINGS (2, with their honest explanations)
- REVEAL SEQUENCE

CONSTRAINTS: Fair play only — no withheld evidence, no last-minute culprit. The reader must have everything needed to solve it. Every red herring must resolve logically. Flag any clue that's too obvious or too obscure.
