The Genre Accuracy Problem

"Your murder mystery needs work."

"What's wrong?"

"The detective solved it on page 3."

"He's competent."

"That's not the genre."

"So I should make him stupid?"

"Make him thorough. 300 pages of thorough."

Love in the Time of Murder

My protagonist and antagonist fell in love.

This was supposed to be a murder mystery.

Chapter 12: they're solving their issues through healthy communication. Chapter 15: couples therapy. Chapter 18: joint mortgage application.

My editor called it "unrealistic."
