I highly recommend reading related articles / forums in one of the many Role-Playing Games Communities.

Since writing adventures for a group of gamers often include mystery elements, lots of good advice on design and writing can be found there.

While using a lot of Gaming Language, these resources are highly readable even to someone not familiar with Role-playing games.

A quick search on Google yielded:

[How do you write mystery adventures](http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/25623-how-do-you-write-mystery-adventure.html) from [http://www.enworld.org](http://www.enworld.org) forum, and[Mystery plots](http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20modern/fb/20031118a) from one of the designers of the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game.
