is there going to be an inspector lewis season 8

What I have to say will make more sense if you can compare it to the synopsis. First, I suggest you read this short synopsis (spoilers and all) of the episode (you'll have to scroll down to the bottom and push the 'Read full synopsis' button). To contrast, in Elementary, only one lead is followed at a time, and one lead leads to the next.

Lewis follows several leads at once, and the only connection the leads have is that they all involve the murdered woman. In Inspector Lewis, there are several plot threads going at once. I compared them to see how the flow of clues/leads/suspects lead the detectives from the beginning to the end. I still haven't answered those questions, but as I was pondering this, I pulled out some outlines I'd made for two television show mysteries: an episode of Inspector Lewis ('Falling Darkness'-one of the most creepy and complicated episodes of Inspector Lewis ever) and an episode of Elementary ('The Leviathan'-not very creepy, but complicated).

If you are writing a mystery (like I am), how to you place clues? How do you decide when the detective finds the clues, and which clues she finds? How does this affect pacing?
