Marissa chats with Rebecca Barrow about her YA murder mystery - BAD THINGS HAPPEN HERE - as well as looking at the types of books you like to read to help you decide what you should be writing; the huge role that voice can play in achieving a stark, chilling vibe for your mystery or thriller; how to develop both settings and characters that have layers, depth, and secrets; using your protagonist's unique perspective to highlight those elements of your story world that you most want readers to pick up on; deepening your characters by taking a closer look at the choices they are making, and what is motivating those decisions; and some things to consider when determining whether to tie up all those loose ends, or to leave some subplots unresolved.
