This is a useful handbook for beginning novelists in the mystery genre. It breaks down the writing process into basic building blocks, and while supplying excellent examples from published books, presents worksheets (space included in the book, and links included to print them from online) to assist the reader in developing their own work. The back of the book addresses the subject of publication at its most basic level; really, this book is 95% on the writing process, and publishing (especially traditional publishing) is so complex, it requires more books to address it at a helpful level. ( ) This book was a highly informative read! I would recommend this book to those who are thinking about writing a mystery novel. I bought this book a few years ago and finally read it. I am glad I took the step. This book helped me out on subjects and situations I thought I knew. I knew most genres have a “formula”. What I learned was what type of formula mystery novels have. I feel more confident now than before I read it. This book was in-depth enough to understand the nooks and crannies. This book is easy to read and understand. There are many examples from different authors for the subject the author is trying to explain. Unfortunately, there were not any diagrams like I like, but I am still fine with that. This book is great for new to advanced writers. For me, you can always learn additional things no matter where you are in your writing. I will use this book as a reference while writing and editing my mystery novel. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
