 - A good companionThis is a practical guide to the process of writing a mystery novel. It can be a guide for begginers, it turns very useful if you already have a plot or an idea to develop. I found it a bit of brief in matter of structure and form, but it can be a good companion turning your idea a real mystery, and not to forget some basics characteristics of the genre. Is simply a guide that can be re-readable. Rating:  - Awesome Crime Writer's Reference This book is very well written.

Rating: - The goodest writors' book out their,You Can Write a Mystery is not as valuable to me as a writer as, say, Funk and White's Elements of Style. It does however, have it's place in a writer's toolbox. It is a valuable piece of equipment. The magic of this short but powerful book, is that it has many rules and points of interst that you did know, but also many that you may have forgotten. The points you did know are reminders ringing like little bells as each of them are reinserted into your writing thought process. Buy it. Read it. Live it. Rating: - Great Support for Mystery WritersThis book is a wonderful collection of mystery writing dos and don'ts. If you're even considering authoring a mystery book, then this book will give you great tips and hints at perfecting your craft. Rating: - Concise, yet packed with great informationI purchased this book for a seminar. It pleased me to find this slender work contains so much information. It's not wordy, repetitive or crammed with filler like many of these kinds of books. And best yet, it helped me work through some of the kinks in my novel TRUE/FALSE. Thank you Gillian Roberts. I highly recommend this book to anyone writing a mystery novel or story. In association with Amazon.com | |
