Real detectives don't approach a case the way readers solve a puzzle — they work under pressure, incomplete information, and real constraints that shape what they see and what they miss.

You'll learn to write detectives who think like police officers, not TV detectives. Master this, and your crime fiction will create genuine tension where it matters most: the gap between what actually happened and what a detective believes happened.
