I collaborated with my then teenage son Daniel and we wrote a YA mystery based on a story given to us by my older teenage son, Andrew. It was published while they were still in their teens.<br /><br />The second collaboration is more recent. Andrew and I collaborated on a mystery entitled THE THIRD EYE set in the Pine Barrens of NJ, a very unique area. We alternate chapters with two narrators, one a teenage boy who tells the story first person, the second, his mother, an emotionally troubled woman. Five Star/Cengage published it in their mystery series in 2013. Collaborative work can have exciting results.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-39027536329468055232016-08-26T11:10:30.368-04:002016-08-26T11:10:30.368-04:00I've heard of this concept before, although I&...I've heard of this concept before, although I've never been tempted to try it myself. What a great collection of authors to do it, though.<br /><br />People who are interested in books like this should check with their local public library for interlibrary loan. I looked up Double Death in the Pennsylvania database, and there are several copies available (free) for loan to anyone who holds a PA library card & has opted into the system (all free) One is even large print.<br /><br />It is presently out of print, but that doesn't mean there are no offerings on Amazon. Several copies are listed for sale in Amazon, although sometimes people will list things they don't actually own and then go looking for it, so you can't be sure they will be able to send it.KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-10090127203218868132016-08-26T10:48:44.679-04:002016-08-26T10:48:44.679-04:00Warren, this sounds like another interesting book,...Warren, this sounds like another interesting book, both of them, in fact.

You must have quite a collection of old books or a terrific used book store near you.

Each wrote every other chapter, but instead of making it seamless, they wrote what they wanted to write with depreciating comments about the other so although the mystery was solved, it became the lesser plot in the book. At the time, I thought it was an original idea, but I now realize I was wrong. The book was a twist on the Detection Club, and although interesting, the book was a neurotic read.<br /><br />These books sound like intellectual equals applying their talents to a collective good, making for an interesting mystey, but since you make note of the changes in characters, was it a good read or was it a great study in plotting?E.
