Spark Your Writing: Whispers in the Margins

Don't you love a good mystery? Even better when romance is thrown into the story, giving it a different slant. Here's a writing prompt that includes both of these elements. Play with this story idea and see what you might come up with.

PROMPT: A rare book restorer finds cryptic notes written in the margins of a first-edition novel. Each note hints at a long-forgotten affair and a series of unsolved murders. She seeks help from a local true-crime podcaster, and together they uncover dark secrets hidden in the town's past. What personal secrets might be revealed when the romance between these two heat up during their investigation?



QUESTION: What two genres might you use instead of mystery and romance in a story titled Whispers in the Margins that works for you?
