Book Reviews of Writing the Modern Mystery (Genre Writing Series)
Book Review: Mystery Penned
Summary: 4 Stars
WRITING THE MODERN MYSTERY has been treading the boards since 1986. Times have changed and the genre has convoluted in the over twenty years, but the basic concepts behind this standard work remain the same as everyone tries to write the "breakout novel," which isn't possible.
Today this is a book to take chapter by chapter over a period of time paying close attention to the techniques described--fine craftmanship never changes.
