Okay, about your question, this is just my opinion, but I think if you're going to use a real setting, whether historical or present day, you'll likely need to do some research. I'm not sure what you'll think of this suggestion, but one possible way around this is to set your Karen Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497346859460691324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939271308870333669.post-38142990135607974232020-04-18T10:39:45.597-07:002020-04-18T10:39:45.597-07:00Good day

Her work went a long way to defining that particular subgenre of murder mystery. But that's just ONE subgenre, there are MANY. That said, a thriller is a different beast than a murder mystery, it's a different genre. Readers come to a murder mystery with significantly different Karen Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497346859460691324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939271308870333669.post-45252941753535808252017-05-29T22:08:59.696-07:002017-05-29T22:08:59.696-07:00That's a wonderful post.

Why is the classical murder mysteries like Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes etc totally different from today's crime thrillers?
