I guess there are countless different ways to start writing a crime novel. The author might come up with a certain crime or a relatable protagonist who is ready to solve it. Sure, these two examples are important parts of a writing puzzle, but either one is something I usually start with. Namely I'm a huge fan of the location, or perhaps rather the setting. A delicious and exciting setting includes the place, weather, time of the day, nature, trees, animals... you name it. It's a combination of different aspects that can make you feel cozy or really frightened.
