'The Busy Writers' Tips on Writing Mystery' describes every step of the journey to write a book that will draw readers in and not let them go until the last page. Marg McAlister builds her ebook like a good mystery, starting with the characters, how to generate plot ideas, clues and red herrings, keeping the reader on the edge of the seat, conflict, point of view, building suspense and so on. I especially like the internal links within the book that lead to more information on a particular topic, e.g. 5 Ideas for Plot Twists, Turning Points in a Novel. The difference between this book and others I've read is the attention to the 'how to'. Both novice writers and those with some writing experience will benefit from the excellent advice this ebook contains.In fact, so convinced am I by Marg's advice I'm going back to re-write the ending of my latest mystery story for children.
