Mystery ideas

Yeah… unfortunately, I know nothing about mysteries (I don’t know if I’ve vet read even one), so I won’t be able to help much.

If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient.

I’m not a mystery expert, but I do enjoy them on the occasions I’ve read them. (Although that mainly includes Sherlock Holmes and a couple of Edgar Allen Poe stories.) I would be completely clueless creating a plot for one, so I can’t help much, but I think it’s a cool idea.

I’ve read some mysteries, but I’ve never written one before. 😅 I think I’d recommend to start backwards though. Where do you want the mystery to lead the characters?/What’s the end result? And how are they going to get there? What clues lead them to that point?

Besides that, I’d just say to read mysteries and notice the trends, and especially note the differences in mysteries written years ago versus today. That might help you develop the structure. Looking up articles or videos about writing mysteries might help too.

I don’t think I have anything else to add because mystery is not my expertise. XD But good luck!! (:
