Crime fiction is one of the most technically demanding - and rewarding - forms of the novel. In this practical workshop, crime writer Andrew Wilson shares his expertise on the craft of constructing a mystery: how to plant clues, build suspense, create an unreliable narrator, and above all, keep the reader turning pages.
Whether you're planning your first crime novel or want to sharpen skills you already have, this is an intensive, hands-on session designed to send you away with new tools, fresh ideas, and a renewed excitement about your writing.
