What are some rules for making a crime fiction book?

Answer 1

A crime book needs to have several things:

• A good crime, of course
• Good police procedural techniques - do the research!
• A good villain whose reasons for doing the crime are logical
• A good hero or heroes who will be interesting to the readers
• A good mystery plot that is hard enough to be interesting, but not so hard that the reader gets lost

Answer 2

1. Develop a compelling plot with twists and turns to keep readers engaged.
2. Create complex and believable characters, including a strong protagonist and a well-developed antagonist.
3. Include red herrings and clues to keep readers guessing, but make sure the resolution is satisfying and logical.
4. Pay attention to pacing, balancing action scenes with moments of tension and reflection.
