It's been a while since I've been here. In my absence, I completed my first novel--a whodunit murder mystery--and it is in its editing phase as I type this. When I was here last, I was still just outlining the subsequent books, looking for ideas. Now its time for me to be a little more focused with my questions.
So. First question.
When working a case, is anything still physical?
The scenario I have in my head is, a detective with a personal connection to a case is trying to look at transcripts from a suspect's journal. The suspect has fled. The lead detective has the journal. The detective with the personal connection wants to see it.
I guess, since this is all based around them not having access to the files, a good follow up question: What are the procedures for a detective with a personal connection to a case? Would this be a thing--them not being allowed access to the files? Plots gotta plot, but I'd like to keep it as grounded as possible.
Thanks in advance, guys!
