Really appreciate you taking the time to critique the story.<br /><br />Interesting post on the nature of twists - I've always been a fan of locked room mysteries as they tend to focus on the <i>how</i> of the crime rather than the who and why. The genre lends itself to rewarding twists as the concept is available to the reader from the very start.<br /><br />I'll be posting further chapters soon to www.TheLockedRoom.com, so will integrate your comments into other stories as well.<br /><br />Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096308520342080991noreply@blogger.com
