It seems like solid advise, but not sufficient? Having wasted many hours watching tv mystery shows, I’d say that just because the crime is coherent, doesn’t mean it’s compelling. Though it for sure helps, I thought his comment about “is it good enough for serial” is nice advice (unless you want to be subversive of course). But for me, what matters is the sequence of clues. Too many time it’s just talk to person a, talk to person b, etc, until they hit a “dead end” until the magic revelation/piece of evidence solves it. But for me a real compelling mystery has every piece along for the entire ride. And that’s not really related to the core crime that you sketch out.
