The DollHouse Mystery

Okay. I admit. This book is written for children, but the reason why I read Carolyn Greene's book was for  research only.   I had written a mystery already and  had not received word from the two agents. I guess its not good enough for them. Most Mysteries written for adults  have more than 100 pages and mostly is a murder mystery. I am not gifted to write like our current mystery writers. My first book is a romance so maybe God has given me the ability to write romance stories.

The book I read is a Nancy Drew book about a young detective accused of stealing the furniture from a dollhouse. One of Mrs Rutledge's granddaughter accused Nancy of  doing it and Nancy sets out to find the real culprit which is the other granddaughter who did not want Nancy to play with the furniture.  After reading this, I have found that murder mysteries are not for children. It is not like Nancy   is called upon to solve someone's murder but that the crime happen to people she is in contact with. Perhaps I can write similar stories, but need to read more to get more ideas.
