The first commandment is that the criminal must be someone mentioned in the early part of the story. This sets the groundwork for a fair mystery where the reader has a chance to figure it out. The second one is that all supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course. Detective fiction is about rational solutions, not magic. Thirdly, not more than one secret room or passage is allowable. This keeps the mystery within reasonable bounds of believability.
