Book Review: Crime Start
Summary: 5 Stars
THE WRITER'S COMPLETE CRIME REFERENCE BOOK by Martin Roth is an excellent beginning for mystery fiction. Yes, it has been around for fifteen years and today there are several entire books for every chapter of the title, but it is still one of the best. This is especially true if the story is prior to 1993.
A must for every mystery writer's reference shelf for there are many times when all you need for a particular story is a general overview, not a full-fledged in depth report.
It has a detailed index for a quick search to give you information for doing a web search with the correct terminology.
