How to Write a Mystery: A Handbook by Mystery Writers of America
by Mystery Writers of America
This was a really good book. The knowledge contained herein isn't just for mystery writers. Yes, It's catered toward mystery writers, but I think it's useful advice for all writers.
This book is the first time that I've read a collection of Essay's and enjoyed Every moment. There aren't any boring essay's. They're all good easy reads.
I love how the book gives you a feeling of community. These are your people, other writers just like you. Except they're well known and published and such. They welcome you in with open arms and share their advice.
However, if you're looking for a step by step guide on how to write a mystery. If you want someone to tell you start here and then do this, then this is not the book for you. They're are tips and guidance, but no one gives you a roadmap, of how to successfully write a mystery. So if that's what you're looking for then this isn't the book for you.
Definitely a recommended read for all writers.
