5.0 out of 5 stars Very good handbook for the novice mystery writer., 4 April 1998
By A Customer
Novice writers of this genre and those who just love to read mystery books will get a lot from this book. The essayists are all published writers of the genre who give expert advice with excellent examples to guide the reader toward better understanding.
