Writing a crime novel involves several elements, the least of which may be the crime itself. The best crime novels skillfully combine character, plot and scene, and in this panel we will discuss how the writer comes up with the idea for the novel or short story, and then how he or she puts it together. In discussing this, we’ll also give tips to readers on how best to read a crime novel, what to look for, and how to look for it.
