Hi, so I've been developing this novel idea for a while and I'm still not sure which idea to use.
It's Paranormal/crime. The main character is an eye witness to a brutal muder, and the detective is second main characters. But due to the witness's current situation, the police feel her in put into the invesitgation is worthless. After some of the witness's claims come true the Detective takes her more seriously, but when one of the victim's mother is a Crime Journalist writes in the paper how the police could have prevented the death of her daughter and all the others by catching the killer sooner and that the police are using this witness as aid, the killer begins stalking the witness.
I wanted to add a twist into the book, these are the two ideas I've come up with so far.
1) she is a psychic, who saw the murder is a 'vision', and since that the victims have been haunting her.
2) or she has some sort of memory problem, maybe a bit like amnesia. She sees something, but then forgets it completely until a few hours or days later. Then she remembers it, but it's not a clean meoery of events. They are all jumbled up, and some of the things she remebers have nothing to do with the murders. Perhaps gradually her memory improves, or its a permanent illness, I'd have to do some research.
In the end is it the Detective that solves the crimes, but using the information she provides.
Which idea sounds better to you? I'd be really grateful for outside opinions lol
