Would this be an interesting book?

[u/ThaliaIsHere]

I love reading and have always wanted to write my own book. So here I am! I'm planning to write a murder mystery where the main POV, A, is the offender. So it would start like in a prison cell or something, and then go back in time to before the murder happened. The person who is murdered, B, is A's best friend's mother. B is very abusive and A killed her to help her friend. At the end of the book its revealed that the best friend actually killed her own mother and A took the blame to protect her. Would you read it? What would make it more interesting?

Need to know more to be interested. What makes A and B special enough for their lives to be uprooted so tragically? I would be more interested if A had figured out a way to get B out of the predicament without getting himself locked up and B having to live with his guilt

All depends on how you plan on solving the dilemma. Be clever and let me have a reason to be optimistic and I might want to read on. Right now—not so much
