What do you like about crime fiction? I like how wide the genre is, it isn’t just focused on a murder case that a detective needs to solve, it can be more focused on the victim or the people surrounding the mystery of the crime, it doesn’t always have to be in the detectives point of view and I also really enjoy some novels where the focus is on the psychological element like Keep Your Friends Close by Paula Daly. And it can even be lighthearted like The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules. On the other extreme it can be a horror like Bird Box and The Three. You really have so much to choose from with this genre.
