About
Do you have to know the solution to the mystery before you start writing your amazing new murder mystery? The "who" in whodunit? The how? The why? Not necessarily!
Explore how to create a taut mystery from start to finish without having all the answers. The secret is in your characters — understanding what makes them tick as individuals and how they relate to each other.
