Instead of writing it like a normal mystery book, why not take it a step further and turn it into a play? I've always found the murder mystery plays to be interesting, and Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap is the longest running play in history - what say we try our hand at it here?

As interesting as it is; something like this can't be told through dialogue alone; it's needs written actions
For another story, definately, but not this one.

Oh no, I agree. But when you're writing a play, you do write down the action.
EXAMPLE: (Baskerville begins running.) BASKERVILLE: Oh dear me, I do believe the dog is closing in! (Baskerville runs all the way until he trips over a lamppost, falls down, and the dog jumps.)
Something the affect.

So Eyes, you never actually said what your ideas were for LM 11 and 12; what did you have in mind?

I don't want to spoil my ideas, but like I said, LM11 is an different twist on the classic mystery novel, and LM12 will finally deliver to us a female detective.

Ah.
Well, I promise we will do our best to get through 8, 9 and 10 efficiently so we can get to those novels.
In the mean time, just waiting for someone to post in 8; you want to go next?

I would if I could think of something. If you have an idea, edit it into your post and I'll try to cook something up.

So, in the latest few posts from Eyes, he was trying to set something up to prolong the story.
Eyes, I appreciate your effort to beef up the story, but here's the thing: between the evidence and the facts, Gunnarson knows it has to be one of the two; there's no way it is possible for anyone else to have done it.
At this point, the tension we have been building up, we need to have our climax; trying to make the story longer for the sake of being longer, at this point, I am concerned that it will feel forced.
Plus let's face it- Gunnarson is an intelligent man- he knows the others couldn't have done it

Frank, that was not my way of trying to beef up the story. That was my way of slowly bringing it in for a landing...

How did we manage to get two the same post amount?

Well, both of them were books with convoluted endings, so maybe that's why.... magic.

"Other than the fact they lived within 20 miles of each other in London, no. We'll get more information to you as soon as we can." The doctor explained.
"Thank you" and Winslow took his leave.
......
It had been four weeks, and JJE was no where closer to getting Colbricht than he was at the beginning of his hunt. Frustrated at not having found an opening in his routine, he was forced to do the unthinkable: abandon the hunt and move on.
"Plenty of fish in the sea" he said as he decided to see who else was deserving of his attention. But first, to settle his basic human needs. Having run out of funds, he found himself in a rather awkward position: to get food without money. He pondered some ideas until he found his target: a grocer closing shop.
Going into the alley, he found a couple trash cans, and proceeded to light and drop a match into it. Walking the long way around, he waited till the grocer saw the smoke.
"What the?!" The grocer said as he ran to go smother the fire with his coat. This gave JJE the perfect opportunity to stroll into the store, pick up a couple loaves of bread, and walk out again. It didn't need to be kept cold and it was rather cheap anyway; the grocer probably wouldn't lose too much anyway. Even so...
When the grocer came back inside to make sure all was squared away, he found a note on the counter.
"My apologies; one day I shall compensate you for the two loaves"
Huh?" The grocer asked himself, confused.

Toz-
Just so thereโs no confusion; that post was rendered non-canon at Eyesโ insistence. Iโm going to take out a couple key elements for another post, but once I have them that post is getting deleted
Once Eyes makes his next LM post, my post will make more sense

Literary mosaic comes in phases, just like the MCU. Or as I like to call them:
Generation one:
Literary Mosaic 1 - Literary mosaic 18
Primary villains:
Dr Drugg, Elvira Revinev, Irish Mob, Blade Syndicate (Ripper Underground takes a background role for the most part)
Primary heroes:
Adolfo Gunnarson, Anthony Stein, Marlena Gent, Michael Walton
Generation 2:
Literary Mosaic 19 - undetermined
Primary villains:
Ripper Underground, Deck of Cards, (plus one offs)
Primary heroes:
Generation 1, plus A couple new faces no doubt (Finnegan May return)
