What reading level is The Elements of Mystery Fiction: Writing the Modern Whodunit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In mystery fiction, each scene is a turn along the maze of the sleuth’s journey of detection. If you neglect to account for even one of those turns, your reader will become immediately—and hopelessly—lost.
Every scene should have a function. Test its validity by asking yourself: “If I omitted this scene completely, would the story still make sense to my readers? Would my hero still get to the same place at the end?”
If your answer is yes, you should omit the scene.
While moving the story forward... through time and space, scenes perform other functions as well. They introduce new characters. They expand and complicate the personalities and motivations of old characters. They establish setting and mood. They develop subplots, clues, red herrings, and false trails. They amuse, sadden, excite, confuse, clarify, educate.
Scenes dramatize events that are motivated. Accident, coincidence, and luck, while common enough in real life, do not move invented stories believably. Readers want to know why events occur.
