The British Mystery Writers Club is one of the oldest and most well-known detective novel writing organizations in the world. Each author of this book was or is a member of the club, including G. K. Chesterton, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, John Dixon Carr, John le Carré, Mick Herron, etc. They gave pertinent and practical suggestions on how to write successful crime novels, discussing the writing of detective novels from aspects such as "motivation", "perspective", "character", "location", "technique" and "plot", and also shared interesting anecdotes about their creation. Whether readers who are new to the detective novel circle or experienced detective novel fans, they can find direction and inspiration from this manual, which is similar to the "Bible" of mystery novels, and at the same time gain the pleasure of reading and experience intellectual stimulation.
