If you think of a book like &ldquo;And Then There Were None&rdquo; by Agatha Christie, you see that a great mystery is made not because of how a murder was committed, but because of why a murder was committed. Motivation, argues Stevens, is everything. Not only the murder&rsquo;s motivation, but every other character is motivated by something. Readers stay enthralled in your story as they try to discover whether or not each motivation is cause enough for murder.
