How to Write a Mystery : The 5 Secret Steps Revealed

Fiction writing is one of the fascinating things that cater to human imagination because writing a novel curbs the mind's appetite while elevating creativity to explore otherworldly ideas out of the subconscious realm of actuality, and the Mystery genre is a sheer example that gravitates toward the curious mind full of imaginary landscapes. This is our favorite subject, and we'll examine the five steps to help you create your own mystery novel.

1.    The basic concept.

Good mysteries possess the universal traits of all great books: well-developed characters who stick with you long after reading about them and an unpredictable and thrilling plot carried out by doing rather than by saying. But they stand out in a variety of ways. Avoid using cliches and revealing too many plot points at once because doing so will make the story predictable and cause the reader to lose interest quickly. Therefore, give your readers access to the same number of clues your protagonist has, and allow them to use those clues to try to solve the mystery at the same time as, if not before, your protagonist. By doing this, the novel and the reading experience will effectively turn into a game.

2.    Make the environment unsettling.

For example, games like Silent Hill 2 or Alan Wake; are well-written stories covered in eerie atmospheres, which helped the plot shine even more. Therefore, even the most unexpected story would fall flat if the tone wasn't appropriate. Create a mysterious atmosphere to rapidly engross readers in your book's world. Dark surroundings are one example, like a deserted lodge in the woods or an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere. Your readers will be intrigued by the story and encouraged to keep reading.

3.    Use your vivid abstract thinking.

Sometimes there is no method left untouched because many things have been done numerous times, and many people have things in common because they are following some sort of pattern, so that's where your darkest and most profound concepts need to be put to use. When writing the first draft, think like an extraterrestrial and write like a child. Obviously, you have to edit and polish this later in the writing process, but let your wild thoughts get lost in the beginning because that’s how you will come up with an unorthodox idea, which will help you create something none-cliched and original stories.

4.    Well-planned misdirection for readers.

The mystery sub-genre is rife with misleading hints that send readers in the wrong direction. This deception adds to the enjoyment, builds engagement, and heightens the suspense. When there is still more tale to tell, the last thing you want is for your audience to figure out all the turns and twists.

5.    Imagine yourself in the scenario.

There’s a murder scene, and you are an eyewitness; what would you do? Trying to fit yourself into the plot will put out convincing plot progressions, don’t think that you are writing something; act like a fiction ghostwriter writing about your personal memoir. Write down your fears, concerns, insecurities, and trauma, and turn them into a compelling tale of mystery with twisted perceptions.
