how does someone, e.g. a detective distinguish if a stab wound is made before or after death?

Don’t worry this isn’t anything alarming. I’m in the process of writing a whodunit and I just want to know if there are any signs that occur/do not occur in a stab wound that is made after death? Any answers would be a great deal of help. Thanks!

If a bunch of blood came out of a wound, it was probably made while the person was still alive and the heart was still pumping. If you make a hole in somebody and very little blood comes out, they were probably already dead, so the blood mostly just stayed where it was.
