I give thanks to God every day for what he has given me. When is the last time you thanked him for what you have?
Every day.

But then my gifts don’t include encounters with celestial beings, saving countless lives, Kung Fu fighting sexual predators, entertaining people with my music or getting rescued from abductors. I’m kind of ordinary really.

I haven't been very precise:

How to tell the story that it is a mystery…. murder weapon has been established and contrary to expectations here has not been a blunt instrument as such.

Well done.

I was ok with the murder part but struggled some with the mystery.

(Sleuth + Villain) × (Victim - Weapon) = Murder Mystery.

And how to produce one in 1000 words or less remains a true mystery to me.

Can you use 'is' at the end of a sentence?
