"Potter/Wimsey crossover fic with mpreg keeps you regular!"
Ideal for reading on the loo!
Can you think about the general ways in which fictional detectives get information (I mean in general: people tell them/deduction/prior knowledge/entrapment/direct observation/physical evidencet)
Oooh, I like the idea of entrapment - that provides an action climax as well as an information climax. Thank you! That's very helpful.
A tree diagram should really be called a roots diagram because it branches downwards like tree roots. It's really just a way of thinking about your series of questions - if you have the corpse at the top, it has two possibilities branching off it, MURDER and SUICIDE. MURDER subdivides into the pieces of evidence that support that theory, and the pieces of evidence in turn subdivide into further possibilities (or stop dividing, once an answer is found). It doesn't tell you the structure at a glance, but it helps me to keep things straight in my mind.
It isn't what you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

Aye, there's the rub!
