This book is so incredibly useful! It’s chock-full of examples, great ideas for twists and plot developments in mystery novels. The book has everything that you should consider when drafting and writing, outlining key story arcs for suspense and mystery fiction (even spending some time discussing the hero’s journey formula). There’s even some time spent on grammar towards the end of the book, though if you’re looking for a book on grammar, I would recommend finding a book dedicated solely to that topic.

I didn’t exactly read this cover to cover, but it gave me a lot to think about when it comes to mystery and suspense and the differences between them. It contained some of the best explanation and examples of different genres that I’ve seen. I’m always on the lookout for some sort of definitive list of genres to use as categories on my blog, and this gave me a good place to start. It also helped me narrow down what exactly I’m trying to write. This was a good Kindle purchase, and I’m sure I will use it as a reference in years to come.
