Knowing how
much time I spent getting through plot in a number of the books I read, I would
have started with some locked room mysteries and the Sherlock Holmes stories,
which provide less plot and helps build clue identification and deciphering
skills and techniques. This would have
helped me when reading the longer mystery novels in identifying what was truly
important to the mystery as compared to the red herrings and macGuffins. I will also be more selective with the movies
I watch to make sure they are true mysteries and not simply suspense thrillers.
