what is your plan when writing mystery books, as in how does it come together so well? i love your books so much
Freida McFadden
Readers seem to expect more in a twist these days because everything has already been done. You have to step out of the box of: “The suspects were A, B, C, D, and A is the killer.” It’s not even enough to say E is the killer. It has to be E is the killer because he is actually B, and was the victim’s mother and his daughter, and also was dead the whole time. That is the level of twistiness that is now required. It’s kind of frustrating when I have a great idea but I can’t come up with that great twist, and yet it’s always exciting and satisfying when I do come up with it.
