It is tricky, though. I just finished my first book doing that and man, I work better with supervillains. XD

Because usually you know that the obvious one is barely ever the actual murderer, and just putting together all the evidence yourself…. it was really good. I didn’t guess it at all and was glad I didn’t look up…[Read more]
