Sometimes despite how much you enjoy a subject your brain for some reason cannot math out how to get those concepts out of your head and into the world at large.

I have a lot of these myself which I'll try to comment below, how about you?

The trick to (most of the) Mystery genre is that you have plan/write it out of order. Instead of starting and being with the main characters you start with the source of the mystery the main characters have to solve.

Because of this any writer who pants their story (and/or enjoys to also be surprised by the story they are writing) the construction of writing a mystery hugely clashes.
