MWA members and authors such as Phyllis A. Whitney, Edward D. Hoch, John Lutz and others give insight to writing a novel and mystery novels in particular. The book covers not only the specifics to mysteries, but the very basics of novel writing, from preparation to market, and has a half dozen chapters on specialties such as the medical and legal thriller.
Impressions: While not as good as Writing the Breakout Novel, this is still an excellent resource, particularly for the mystery writer. I picked it up to help me with my mystery novel (which is probably on indefinite hold while I work on a few other things and learn more about the genre), but have found myself picking it up and looking up things for my non-mystery novels as well.
