@jakubcraig: There are ways. When you’re writing a mystery don’t do the old man Jenkins techniques. Everyone guessed that first try. Make sure the bad guy isn’t even introduced until the very end. #BookTok#writertok#writing#writer#indieauthor
This might be even better than the Heavy Rain method

Real method is make the killer a concept with no name

in a murder mystery they usually have one of the earlier suspects do something really suspicious so you think it's them but it is never actually them, there's so often this terrible explanation that doesn't really explain or clear what they did but apparently they're clear now, i really wanna see a story flip this and make them actually a killer because no one ever expects that and it always seems like such a waste

Write it without YOU knowing the killer and figure out who youd want it to be at the end
