This presentation from author Alice K. Boatwright looks at the challenges--and advantages--of writing a mystery. It covers the steps from deciding which mystery subgenre suits you best to developing a well-crafted world, believable characters, and a story that meets the demands of a mystery's archetypal structure, while surprising and satisfying both you--and your readers.
