Now Write! Mysteries: Suspense, Crime, Thriller, and Other Mystery Fiction Exercises from Today's Best Writers and Teachers by Sherry Ellis, Laurie Lamson

5.0

Each chapter is written by a different established author. The chapters are short, but pack quite a punch, and each one has a useful exercise that the reader can try out to apply the lesson learned while reading the chapter. This book is comprehensive and covers all aspects of writing a mystery–not just plotting and suspense, but creating authentic protagonists, villains, using setting, and writing dialogue.
5 stars!
