I LOVE this book. It has so much great information, hints, tips and I have learned so much from it. Any author in the Mystery or Thriller genre should own a copy. It may be a few years old but the information it contains is essential. Out of the 400+ craft of writing books in my library, this has to be in my top 3. ( )

Very solid primer on writing mystery and suspense. ( )

I didn’t exactly read this cover to cover, but it gave me a lot to think about when it comes to mystery and suspense and the differences between them. It contained some of the best explanation and examples of different genres that I’ve seen. I’m always on the lookout for some sort of definitive list of genres to use as categories on my blog, and this gave me a good place to start. (By the way, if anyone has a list of genres that *they* use, please share!) It also helped me narrow down what exactly I’m trying to write. This was a good Kindle purchase, and I’m sure I will use it as a reference in years to come. ( )
