There are thousands of mystery novels out there but just a few of them can be described as fantastic. Some of the problems associated with most of these books include unrealistic plots, unbelievable characters and stilted dialogue, just to name a few. This explains why most of the mystery novels published yearly don’t fare so well. Mystery novel readers are simply too smart and savvy for writers who don’t have a good grip on this genre. So when another writer releases a book that promises to help other writers become master mystery authors, it’s worth looking into.
