I decided to try writing a murder mystery as I've always enjoyed reading the genre and just took a course studying the conventions and history of it. I also feel like it would benefit my writing skills to try a genre out of my comfort zone.
I have the atmosphere and characters but haven't figured out the details of the crime. Does anyone have any recommendations of articles or other sources to read to help planning? I'm a huge planner and I think it's necessary with the genre to have all the details figured out beforehand so I can make the narrative unfold properly.
This is an unfamiliar genre to me as a writer so any tips or advice from your own experience would be very helpful.
Thanks!
