author & ghostwriter
Matt Wesolowski’s Six Stories follows this premise. It is the written transcript of Scott King’s podcast. Scott's goal is to rake up old graves. He takes cold cases and looks at them again, but not as a detective or reporter.
I once read of a technique that is commonly used by suspense writers to raise the tension level in a book. It involves breaking up sentences. Adding variety. Making it sound like a mind in the midst of a complicated problem.
Aware that I haven’t the slightest idea of how to write a mystery, I began searching for good ones to read. Ever loyal to the classics, I am reading Agatha Christie–but since what I’m writing is present-day, I’m also looking for modern mysteries.
