Crime novel or detective novel?
A crime novel typically focuses on the criminal act and its consequences, often from the perspective of the perpetrator, victim, or both. On the other hand, a detective novel centers around the investigation of a crime, usually by a professional or amateur detective. While both genres often overlap, the primary difference lies in the focus of the story – crime novels delve into the motivations and actions of the criminal, while detective novels revolve around the process of solving the crime.

What are the characteristics of a detective story, a crime story, and a thriller?
A detective story typically involves a protagonist, often a detective or amateur sleuth, who solves a crime through deductive reasoning and investigation. The focus is on the process of solving the mystery, with an emphasis on clues, red herrings, and the unraveling of the truth. A crime story, on the other hand, centers around the commission of a crime and its aftermath. It often delves into the motivations and psychology of the perpetrator, as well as the impact of the crime on the victims and the community. The focus is on the criminal act itself and its consequences. A thriller is characterized by its fast-paced, high-stakes plot, often involving elements of danger, suspense, and tension. The protagonist is typically in a race against time to prevent a catastrophic event or to outmaneuver a formidable adversary. Thrillers often feature plot twists, unexpected revelations, and a sense of urgency that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.

What is the difference between a detective story, a crime novel, and a thriller?
A detective story typically focuses on a protagonist, often a private investigator or amateur sleuth, who solves a specific crime or mystery through deductive reasoning and investigation. A crime novel, on the other hand, tends to have a broader scope, often delving into the criminal underworld and the motivations of both criminals and law enforcement. Thrillers, while they may involve elements of crime and detection, are more focused on creating suspense and tension, often through high-stakes situations and fast-paced action. While there can be overlap between these genres, the key difference lies in their emphasis and approach to storytelling.
