4.0 out of 5 stars
Good and Easy to Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Strictly Murder!: A Writer's Guide to Criminal Homicide (Paperback)
I'm attempting to write a hard boiled mystery and I've read almost everything I can get my hands on on crime and writing.This is a great book cuz it has short, informative chapters and also suggestions on where to get more information. My only complaint/gripe is that he doesn't explain the jargon in a few places. I felt I could have used a few more examples in order to truly understand what he was getting at. Jesus used parables -- and look where it got him!
