I write mysteries without an outline. I have my amateur sleuth follow the clues as they develop during the writing of the book. I usually know who the killer is by the halfway point of the novel. Then, I write toward that ending. I also list five future chapters with story ideas for each of them. That's when things are going well.
My problem with outlines is that once I know the story and how to get there, I become bored with the tale I'm writing.
