Suspicion is The Game
Suspicion, mistrust, doubt, uncertainty, misgivings, conjecture, speculation, assumption, and plenty of imagination is what makes a mystery book. It’s what makes this a mystery book. My favorite? Meaning and meaningless coincidences.
Looking at the bodies—and there are quite a few—if in fact there was a mysterious hand behind it all…how was it done?
Simple explanations, obvious to the main forensic finds, are elaborated with ease. And yet, doubts to their accuracy arise when common sense says it could be otherwise, raising mistrust when before there was blind faith, and creating a playful game of suspicion in all aspects of the crime.
It becomes a game for the killer—if in fact there is one—where detectives, police, forensics, and lawyers become simple pawns that move about trying to resolve the murders.
That makes one hundred and thirty-two words and I haven’t given you a clue.
Indeed, never better said, Suspicion is The Game.
