Everyone loves a good thriller. Something nefarious happens in the first chapter, then the chase begins to find the perpetrator.
In most cases, a body is discovered, in a bedroom, barroom, lying in the street or even hanging in the garage. Was it murder or an accident?
Your protagonist sets off to solve the case.
In cozy mysteries, the protagonist isn’t a detective, but rather an ordinary person with an inclination for intrigue. She could be a dentist, doctor, baker, contractor, just about any profession. The main requirement is the ability to doggedly pursue the chase.
Your task is to write a story in which a body is found and then the case must be solved.
Have fun with this one.
