RESEARCH

When you make a decision to write a mystery involving some type of crime or investigative work, you have to do your research. As much as I love watching CSI, they are not a reliable source. Get your research from REAL experts.

• Crime 360 (New TV show on A&E, very high tech)
• Crime Scene Questions for Writers (yahoo group)
• Keep Me in Suspense Resources
• The First 48 (Love this TV show!)
