A smart, practical, and often funny guide for those who aspire to write mysteries, Sleuth reveals the secrets behind the curtain from a bestselling and award-winning master of the genre

Gail Bowen shows how to map out a plot, how to plant page-turning clues, how to develop fully-rounded characters, and how to create the scene of the crime. She also looks at the psyche, the power of story, and cultural appropriation, allowing writers to communicate the truth about the human condition.

Digging into the works of Agatha Christie, Ruth Rendell, Sara Paretsky, Ian Rankin, Louise Penny and a score of others, Bowen explores all the possibilities the mystery genre offers writers with a story to tell.

Bigger than expected.
Size: Small, Color: Black/Cool Cats
Love it . Ingot this for my 6 years old . But she is petite and I keep a bigger size becuase they say was bigger . But no my daughter is skinny and 50 pounds . That size was twice bigger on her 😳... so is inconsistent the comment and size. My daughter is really petite . She normally used size 4/5 .
