Chronological Order

Don't lose your reader. If your reader is confused it is likely that they won't continue reading. One of the most common ways authors confuse their readers is by jumping through time. They may not even realize they are doing it. I'm not talking about flashbacks to scenes that happen before the story happens. There are times when we don't show a conversation in real time but refer back to it later. Normally only a few pages, or even paragraphs, after where it would have fallen in the real timeline. Having these small jumps in time may not seem like a big deal but every time you do it there is a chance that your reader would get lost.

You may think this is a good way from keeping your reader in suspense. In all actuality most of the readers will be irritated that you are withholding information.

Betsy-Lou looked at the paper in her hand with only one name. She would know who the killer was.
Cuts to another scene. A page later she confronts the killer in a darkened alley.
A man steps out of the shadows.
"I know you are the killer."
"How do you know that?" he asked.
"Because of this." Betsy-Lou held out the paper with the name scrawled in red. "The victim wrote down the name of his killer with his own blood. Why did you do it . . . Jeffery?"

Cheesy example but hopefully it gets the point across. Instead try to build suspense another way.If you want to keep information from your readers it is better to do it in a more subtle manner.

Betsy-Lou looked at the paper. The blood had dried into a blob. The name of the killer was still unknown, but the killer didn't know that. She folded the paper back up and put it in her pocket. It was time to bring all the suspects together. She only hoped her acting skills were up to it.

If it can be in chronological order, do it. Don't use a screwy timeline to keep information from your readers. They will see through it.
