Can I share or resell the files?

Was AI used to make it?
Yes, with human direction. The cover illustration, the manor artwork and the suspect and inspector portraits are AI-generated images, edited and laid out by a human. The story text was drafted with AI assistance. The mystery logic, the unique solution path, the floor plan, the period documents and the layout were designed and checked by a human. The preview photos show the real PDF pages on AI-generated desk backgrounds, with the solution blurred.
