John le Carré said the best place to start a crime novel is as
near to the end of the story as possible. But how do you know what
the story is? As writers, we all have different experiences and
skills to draw upon, and this book will help you identify the right
beginning, middle and end for your own crime novel. Whether you are
writing a police procedural or a psychological thriller, you will
need to consider the basic elements of a gripping narrative. Within
these pages, you'll learn to master the art of storytelling, from
creating a compelling plot that keeps readers on the edge of their
seats to choosing the perfect point of view to bring your
characters to life. Dive into the depths of suspense, mystery, and
surprise, as you unravel the intricacies of crafting a crime novel
that captivates and entertains. This guide will help any new or
experienced writer to navigate the writing journey, uncovering the
core principles that will make your crime fiction truly
exceptional. -- .
