One thing I need to realize when writing omniscient is that the tension evaporates instantly. Therefore: stop trying to force it in.
Hiding a plot twist until the end by making characters who should know about not reveal it to the reader is so contrived. I told myself that i wouldn't fall into that trap, but I did.
Even worse is that I so dislike it when writers try to dance around an issue like that, by hiding it.

I'm only missing cowboys; that's about the only genre I haven't messed with.

Fantasy, sci-fi without the science, deep space, supernatural, romance, family drama, mystery, spirituality, comedy, bits of dark fantasy, bits of horror...

Am I missing anything?

Oh, I didn't know that and it is just up the road from me Sir.

In fact I may pop up to Avebury and hug some stones sometime soon.
