Secrets

I've gotten to that point in my manuscript where it's time to include some secrets.

I love secrets in books. They work really well for mysteries—in fact, it's fun for all of the suspects to have a secret they're trying to protect.

Then the reader and sleuth are aware the suspect is throwing up some roadblocks. They're just not sure why it's happening. Are they covering up the murder they committed? Or are they just trying to conceal a personal secret from the investigators?
