- The second half of your mystery novel is usually built on one thing: the villain's coverup. In this video, we talk about 4 specific strategies your villain can use to try and get away with the crime, we talk about how those strategies can enlarge your overall plot, and we discuss what happens when one of his strategies goes haywire.

Possibly your best work yet, loved it. It’s also really exciting to watch this and see that it’s what I did for my second novel and while my execution wasn’t great, the bones are. The rest is what editing is for, right?
Thanks so much, Cressida. I do feel really proud of this one, I'm glad you liked it.
Loving these videos funnily enough helping me with prepping a DnD story arc! It's not about a murder but the principles are helping with the prep of a mystery and investigation arc.
I think you are the second person who's told me they're working on a D&D story. I think that's so cool!
Lots of good stuff here. I need a second listen with a notepad at the ready☺
Glad you liked it!
Doing that now, too 😁
@@KimtheElder I just did it, too, and it was very helpful in thinking of possible scenes to give my villain some page time.
after hearing your excellent videos I often wonder if I have the capacity to think insuch simple but also complicated steps! My brain is cracking, thank you!
Sorry I made your brain crack, but I'm glad you seem to like it!
I was intrigued by the plot of Diabolique, so I looked it up and found out it is based on a French movie of the same title. I plan on watching that one tonight and then will give the English version a go to see how they differ besides one being in black and white. :D. It will be interesting to see how the modern treatment varies from a 1955 version.
I have never seen the French one, but that sounds like a fun project!
@@janekalmes I watched it yesterday and liked it. I did suspected the true culprits/motive; but by the end I had begun to doubt myself, only to have it turn out to be the way I first suspected (kind of like your analysis with Murder on the Nile). Sorry for the convolutions; don't want to spoil anything, which they funnily enough put at the end of the French version (In writing: Don't spoil it for your friends :P ) I directly started in on the English one and went, Meh, maybe later. Too much in one go. ;)
@@janekalmes They're not just "friends" in the French version...
Wonderful! So many great ideas..
Thank you, Susan!

I am going to try to make it, but it is only 9p.m. here, and I am yawning my head off already 😑
@@alphaomega6684 There’s always the replay! I’ll be sending it out after to anyone who signed up.
What I really do not understand, and it is a bit of a pet peeve of mine, is when the murder hires one of the best detectives to solve the murder they committed.
Often times they are not doing it to help find clues they need to cover up like you said. So why would they hire the best detective? Are they feeling guilty and they want to get caught? Are they trying to look innocent because they hired their own detective? If so, why hire the best detective with nearly zero unsolved cases under their belt? It just does not make any sense. Is it that they have that high of a opinion of themselves that they think they will not get caught or that they are better than the detective? I find myself mentally yelling at the screen, or page, "you hired Sherlock, Poirot, or etc, and you are surprised you got caught? They are the best of the best, of course you are going to get caught!"
You're so right--why do they do this?
Perhaps it is their pride! Maybe they were thinking “If this detective doesn’t catch me (and I’m sure they won’t), then no one would ever doubt my innocence! I’ll be free without any suspicion!” or something like that.
