@quinnBiblid3 Thank you.
It's a modern mystery partly introduced through a fictional true-crime podcast series.
Winters is a Detective Constable for the London MET. He is green and forced to learn quick

[Jack Sydenham @Jack_Sydenham]

"Orange stains bled from the chipped grout and crept towards the urine-soaked floor. The tangy stench hit the back of the throat like a shot of limoncello. “Fucking place,” Winters uttered and tip-toed to the urinal"

@MattRead007 Oh, for sure

Do you read your full manuscript like a reader (no stopping to make edits ect) before your intended final draft?

@cosy_raindrop I like them. Drives to work and back let me experience another story while I can still read my book at home

[Jack Sydenham @Jack_Sydenham]

@JamieAdStories Of course

[Jack Sydenham @Jack_Sydenham]

Two detectives walk into a bar; only one survives. Now he’s trapped with eight suspects after a murder blows the night apart.

@FrancesNavajo Sounds cool. I'll put it on the list when I next bulk buy books for a marathon read

[Jack Sydenham @Jack_Sydenham]

Winters gazed toward the dark.“I think I’m going to talk with my partner. Clear my head a bit.”

Jimmy scratched his head. “But, he’s umm…he’s about fourteen hours dead.”

@Elmer881992 "Writers should develop thick skin"

Yeah, ok. Are we supposed to look like Rhinos?

[Jack Sydenham @Jack_Sydenham]

@HKreke It's awful.
The real plot twist is trying to summerise the plot twist without revealing the plot twist

[Jack Sydenham @Jack_Sydenham]

@PunyFingers Saaaame

[Jack Sydenham @Jack_Sydenham]

@CoveJay61782 🤣 very true! Polished so much it's starting to show reflections!
Thanks for the words if encouragement 💪🏼

Spent 2 days creating my query letter for potential representation.
Left it for a day.
Spent another 2 days going over my sample chapters, query letter and synopsis.
Left it for a day.
