How to Write Mysteries is a must for the libary of the budding author. Not only does it offer practical advice, but it offers plenty of inspiration.

Must-Have for Aspiring Mystery Writers, Aug 19 2010
By Sophrosyne "Soph" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Write Mysteries (Hardcover)
While it may be tempting to dismiss the value of this book, because it was written in 1989, it's singularly the most useful, relevant book I've read, when it comes to writing murder mysteries. Even now, in 2010. And especially for writers who are new to this genre. If writing a solid, page-turning mystery is a bit of a mystery to you, you need this book. It's one of the few books I consider indispensable. I only wish she had written more 'how to' books, because her insights are priceless.
