Any idea, no matter how crazy,
can be made to work in a story. As long as you set things up well enough, the
reader will buy whatever you’re selling.
That doesn’t mean providing any
old nonsense will work, but it does mean any old
nonsense can be made to work, whether it's how the impossible murder was committed, or why the billionaire fell for the 6/10 brunette, or the guy who claims victory by using The Force.
The important thing to remember
is it’s the stuff during the build-up that will make or break the story, not the explanation after the fact.
