Anatomy of a Murder Mystery

[cyrano]

Step 1. Decide what movie to rip off for Ambercon game
Step 2. Take some notes
Step 3. Watch movie, take some more notes
Step 4. Actually do some work
Step 5. Beta test on unsuspecting friends.
Step 6. Do more actual work
Step 7.
Step 8. Profit

Somewhere in there, include "Give money to Simone".

Currently cruising at Step 3.

EDIT: If you're not in one of my two beta test gaming groups, and you're not going to sign up for the game at AmberCon, would you like to brainstorm?

I'm writing a murder mystery too! Mine is simple, no characters, just clues.

Which of the clues is the clever clue that nobody suspects until the original will is found?

It's based on John Wesley and Methodism, so no original will. I do have freakin obscure clues, like the fact that John Wesley loved toast. Toast!
