ARIZONA STATE. I have ghostwritten thrillers/noir detective stories before, and your option of Arizona state would be the more intriguing because (1) it's different than the usual nighttime cityscape we might usually associate with such stories and (2) I'm visualizing the contrast between dark human drama and the sunny wide open landscape. That juxtaposition is fascinating! It offers interesting emotional contrast as well as options for the setting. I hope you like my answer! I've worked 10+ years ghostwriting and editing, and I have particular talent for genre fiction, such as thrillers and detective stories. I'd be happy to share a sample, if you require that. Please see my reviews and profile here. You'll notice that my employers are always very happy with my work, often rehiring me or extending a project to include more work. I'm easy to work with, I'm highly professional, and I will do whatever it takes to give you the absolutely best results. If you're interested in working with me, please do reach out through chat! I'd love to discuss the details of your project. Thank you for considering my bid. Sincerely, Anna

Hi I would choose my detective to be in any of these states since I am not from the US. But even if I was from the states, my answer would be the same. A detective story always requires research on the police departments and statutes of that particular region along with other research, so it wouldn't really matter to me which state I chose my detective to be in. That's the answer to your question. Now, if you want to see the quality of my work, you may request samples. I am a published author, and my work speaks for myself.

I would choose Florida. The city has enough crimes to feed the thriller. Moving on to my presentation, I am Najwa, a content writer and an author. I have written two books of my own. I have seven years of experience in the field of writing and I have been an avid reader of thrillers my whole life. My texts are free of plagiarism, mistakes and can keep a reader interesting and immersed in suspense. Feel free to contact me for further details. Najwa

Though I do not know the plot of the story, I think it would be interesting to set a detective story in Colorado. The state provides an ample variance in setting. A story could move easily through the state, from city to wilderness. Denver is a culturally rich city and would be useful in developing character and plot. Colorado - and Denver specifically - would also be helpful in building complex characters from various situations, which could help to diversify the plot and prompt fresh narration. Both the city and the expansive wilderness would be conducive to a fast-paced and interesting action/chase scene. Finally, my personal experience in Colorado would allow me to write a more realistic description of the setting and the characters within it. I look forward to working with you!

I have excellent time management skills and can definitely deliver the completed project in three weeks. I am an experienced writer/proofreader/editor and would love to be part of your project. As for the backdrop for a detective story, I would choose New York state, regardless of how little I know of the geography of the U.S. I grew up reading Marvel Comic books and all of my favorite superheroes seemed to be central to New York and the surrounding area. With a state teeming with people, there's bound to be more than just a few mysteries sprinkled throughout for a detective to keep busy with.

Hello! We'll create a fantastic detective story in the landscape that stretches between the cemetery and the wooden cottage that stands so mysteriouly and lonely in Adamsville, one of the loneliest municipalities of Tennessee. Something happened there, something happens all the time before the eyes of the naive inhabitants of the area, who are too immersed in their own stories to realize that something bigger than their lives is going on. I know the story is not going to be about this, but I allowed myself to daydream thanks to this project, thanks to you. By the way, if you don't use the idea, I will, if you don't mind. I'm a writer and translator, stories are my life and what I do for a living. I'd like to hear from you soon. See you later! Lorena.-

@Irenaptn

I am very interested in your project and would like to apply. I have been a writer for seven years and have had 11 novels, 7 short stories, and numerous articles published. All my novels are murder mysteries. I have an excellent command of the English language and have a B.A. Honors degree in English and Drama which I took at the University of London. Although I am English, I can write in US English very well and have done so for many assignments. I would choose New York State to set my detective story in. New York city is one of the most exciting cities in the world. It certainly is the city that never sleeps. People from all different backgrounds mingle and meet each other. I would have my story play out in the artistic world. New York city is full of writers and serious actors and I believe that a good murder story could be woven around this world.

@djlpokerman

Given the five choices presented, I would unequivocally set the story in New York State. New York is a densely populated area that has the seedy and shadowy areas of an inner-city, but also has a mountainous and open terrain in the northeastern part of the state. There is an almost inexhaustible number of thematic elements that can be seen in the inner cities of the five boroughs of New York. Dark alleys, organized crime, corrupt law enforcement officials, and a plethora of hiding places. Also, New York City is the city that never sleeps. The tension there can be palpable, and the erratic pulse of the city would contribute to the climactic elements of the yarn. Such an answer may seem banal and overplayed, but it is good reason. However, if New Orleans was also listed, I would have a difficult time choosing. By the way, I am an internationally published author who has written hundreds of creative works for businesses and individuals, including a 360-page novel. All of my work is original. My English is exquisite, and my grammar is flawless.

Hi , I think New York State would be the best place for a story like that to take place. New York has a mysterious and kind of calculist and cold demeanour that would give this type of story because it seems like a place where nobody knows nothing about anybody ,for example ,someone's neighbor could be living a double life as a criminal and no one would notice because almost everybody is closed there to a certain degree.

I would like to set this detective short story in Las Vegas, Nevada. With all of the bright lights, beautiful showgirls, and excitement, no one would focus on the mystery surrounding the most luxurious hotel and casino on the Strip... until the new gumshoe in town loses a bet. What would one night at the Éclatant prove? Why is this punishment for losing a bet? And who continues to leave little trinkets everywhere he goes, when he steps out? Throughout the night, Rayne feels as if he's being watched. Is he? In this story, Rayne Luxford experiences his first adventure as a new detective as he pieces together an ongoing mystery that has made a decade-old hotel and casino infamous.

I would pick New York State. Why? Because New York is a state that is very busy. When it comes to a detective there would be more suspects in a big city, than a small town in Tennessee.
