Having a break. I am trying to decide whether to make my crime novella into a series or perhaps turn my hand to something different.

The ending of a suspense novel is crucial. It has to be satisfying, unexpected, and yet inevitable. You want the reader to gasp, to nod their head in recognition, to feel the weight of the resolution. A good twist can be the cherry on top, but it has to be earned.

The best suspense novels are character-driven. It's not just about the plot, but about the people caught in the web of intrigue. You want the reader to care about what happens to them, to feel their fear, their desperation, their hope.
