Tenth Assignment: Mystery

This week we are writing a synopsis for a mystery story. It is recommended that you write this plot in reverse, starting with whodunit and working backwards providing clues that both lead and mislead the detective. Create a detective to solve the mystery. You will be writing two stories, one which is the story you want to suggest is true, the other, the story that is the true explanation. You need not construct the panels and pages for this story, just the story outline. 

Remember the detective story is largely a character driven narrative in which the plot is a device to introduce interesting characters and character interaction with the detective as the foil and the progression of suspects as characters whose eccentricities enliven and create conflict. In your synopsis be sure to describe the eccentricities and audience appeal of the characters especially the detective and the prime suspects.
