Last Crush
A Hill Country winemaker dead in his own tank, six people on the property, and a sister who does not believe in accidents. Five sealed envelopes, two ciphers, one answer.
About this caseWe would rather ship one case that holds up than ten that do not. Each one below has been played at our own table before it went on the shelf. Ages and times are honest. The difficulty is about how hard it is to name the right person, not how much reading there is.

About this case
Five envelopes. Three suspects who stay plausible until the last page. The same rule as always: exactly one of them is cleared by nothing.
A disappearance rather than a death, an archive rather than a crime scene, and a client who is not telling you everything.

Easy. Fewer clues, each one pointing more directly at what it means. Suspects fall away one per envelope until one is left. Medium. The same elimination structure, more material, and the last two suspects only separate in the final envelope. Hard. An extra envelope and two or three suspects who could all have done it until the very end. In every case there is one killer and the documents prove it. We never resolve a case on a hunch, and neither should you.
