The Mystery About Writing A Mystery Novel

When it is about writing a mystery, there is no mystery. If you scan through some of the amazing works on Medialaze, you would realize this. Well, not really, but some things need to be observed if you want to write a gripping mystery. First and foremost, to meet the criteria of a mystery, your story must have certain ingredients: a crime, a secret, a detective, suspense, and an orderly resolution.


Certain requirements are peculiar to the mystery genre such as; clues, red herring, tying up loose ends, and myriad of questions you must be ready to answer. Forensics, ballistics, police procedures in the area you are planning to set your story are important. Be aware that every state is different in how they handle these aspects of solving a crime. Individual cities differ in how their police force works. Researching to authenticate your story place and/or time is paramount to writing a story worth reading. When it comes to mystery writing, it’s all about the details. You need details that make your setting come alive.

Sometimes that is only one detail, like the skeleton of the warehouse after the fire stood like a barren cemetery spires of steel pointing skyward. You should also have an idea of how the judicial system works and knowledge of the investigative procedure.

Think of a mystery as a way of examining the dark side of human nature, a means to explain the perplexing questions of crime, guilt and innocence, violence and justice.

If you like to read mystery books and variety of other genres, Medialaze is an amazing option for you.
