I like that. I've read books where the writer set up twists and reveals, but do do so, she had to mislead the reader and withold info that later we find out the characters already knew and I just felt betrayed.

This sounds right up my alley!<br /><br />As for spoiling the twist in the query letter -- good for you! I have often given advice to writers on that very issue. The agent needs to know what makes your story unique. There's no such thing as a spoiler in a query letter -- your book needs to stand out among the rest.Dianne K.
