If You Were Going to Write a “Who Done It” in 2026…

If you were going to write a “Who Done It” this year, what would it look like?

Would it be a classic with mysterious footprints in the rain, a locked room, and a secret someone’s been hiding for years? Would it be something quieter like a betrayal between friends, a choice that changed everything, or a small act no one noticed until it was too late?

Who would your suspects be? The neighbor who knows too much, the coworker who smiles a little too easily, or the stranger who shows up at the wrong place at the wrong time? Would the clues they be obvious or hiding in plain sight just waiting for someone to piece the puzzle together?

Would the big reveal shock everyone or leave them quietly wondering how they missed it all along?

If you were going to write your big mystery story, how would you invite readers to follow the breadcrumbs? How would you make readers lean in, question everything, and finally gasp when the truth comes out?

2026 is a blank page. A fresh case. A story waiting for a detective.

So I’m asking you: if you were going to write a “Who Done It” this year, what would you write?

Just food for thought…
