Motives, Means, & Opportunities for Mystery
From cozies to PI's, noir, thrillers, paranormal, true crime, and other subgenres—three key elements drive all mysteries: motives, means, and opportunity. In this class, you'll learn how an author exploits these three elements to build suspense, increase action, and flesh out characters. We'll find inspiration in examples by Kevin O'Brien, KJ Howe, Renee Patrick, Bob Dugoni, and Michael Connelly, and you'll apply what you learn to your own work-in-progress with writing exercises on plot, character, and revealing clues.
