Nash's Three Laws of Mystery Writing.
So I've really gotten back into the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney series thanks to a really mediocre but oddly endearing musical . And it got me thinking about what does and doesn't make a good mystery story. And I came up with a pretty good axiom for good mystery writing. But then my publishers told me that if I wanted to get anywhere in this world I must have THREE laws. So I came up with two more.
