The trick with a feature mystery is to lay out the basic points of the story (beginning, twist, and end). From there, you figure out the mechanics of the mystery (what's revealed and now, and what that unlocks). It's basically a logic chain fused with a story.

Thanks, John. I've been thinking of writing one, and contemplating the mechanics of it and the layout.

Bad news for all!
Crunch Patty and I have tentatively agreed to co-write one. As two of the most ridiculous people to have ever been associated with Sleuth, should this actually go down, you are all in for one doozy of a roller coaster ride down the line when we unleash our creative stupidity in the form of a featured mystery.

Way to spoil the ending biggie. *glare*
Al...see now we're gonna need a rewrite on pages 4, 6-8, that thing on 17 with the margarine and yeah the rabbit's completely obsolete.
*whispers* But don't worry, we can still rip off the love scene from 'Team America'. We'll just need to write in another sack of puppet hair and a tub of glue. S'all good.

I've been thinking about writing a mystery myself. Though not entirely sure if I can or not. It's worth a shot.
