I have just finished reading Josh Bock's blog, and his research and dedication is amazing. He has accumulated a really large number of resourceful books, movies, and biographies that will really help him develop his topic of mystery. He knows that in order to make a mystery novel, which is his project, he should learn from the very best by reading and watching the best novels and films. He has great movies such as The Usual Suspects, and great directors such as Alfred Hitchcock. Josh will have no lack of research or quotes. I am impressed that he is analyzing the development of mystery in novels by tracking literary techniques. I have two pieces of advice for Josh:
1) Get started on the novel, because it could prove to take a long time.
2) Don't get too carried away trying to read and watch every mystery... You should make sufficient time for your own analysis and thinking.
