5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best book of the series, 31 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I found this one more practical than most of the A&C Black How-to-write books. It helps understand the different genres of crime writing and offers many pointers which are useful especially for the structuring of the crime novel. This could be a useful book not just for the beginner, but especially for writers with some experience who are looking to branch out into the crime genre.
