Suburban Underworld

A noted detective retires and moves to a quiet suburb, only to discover it harbors its own set of mysteries.

Using this backdrop of seemingly mundane domestic life, write about the undercurrent of secrets that exists in every community. How will the detective’s past experiences influence his approach to these new mysteries? Will the close-knit nature of the community help or hinder his investigations? This prompt provides an opportunity to explore a high-stakes scenario in a low-stakes setting and examine interpersonal dynamics within a suburban context.
