Using clues and secrets in a story is a great way to add mystery and depth. Dropping clues is not a writing technique only for mysteries, thrillers, and crime stories, though. You can use this technique in any story where you want to add an aspect of mystery.

In this book, you will learn how to drop clues and divert the reader's attention from clues and secrets. There are examples from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series in this book to illustrate these techniques.
