Building a Mystery...Story

For the last few days, I've been rolling over in my head some ideas for writing a set of mystery/thriller stories.  They're based on a character I created a while back, fleshed out some, but never really got a hold on.  I've since tweaked him a bit and think he's about ready to take the stage. 

I've read more than a few detective stories in my life, as it's one of my favorite genres, so I've seen a lot of what makes them good and a LOT of what makes them bad.  The best of them seem to have built solid, realistic characters then placed them into a story, as opposed to the other way around, so that's what I'm doing.  I'm building a world in which my story will take place, filling it with people and seeing what happens.  I'm looking forward to it.
