Mystery - Climax

As discussed in class, you should at the very least be half-way through your mystery novel. Tell me how far you are and briefly summarize the mystery of your story so far. What is the main mystery that is trying to be solved? Also, since you are half-way through, you should be experiencing some rising action which may or may not have led to a literary climax at this point. What are some of the components of your plot that you believe contribute to the rising action of your mystery? Do you think you have read the climax yet? Why or why not? Make sure your answer shows your understanding of how the plot works to create a rising action that leads to the climax of the plot.
