Genre rules of crime fiction
![Page 31: Working With Genres](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b309e44a7959d0528b45d3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Everything you need for good crime fiction is a good beginning and a telephone book for the right names
- Georges Simenon
![Page 32: Working With Genres](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b309e44a7959d0528b45d3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The most important recipe for crime fiction: the detective must never know more than the reader
- Agatha Christie
![Page 33: Working With Genres](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b309e44a7959d0528b45d3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
There are no criminal, but rather regular people becoming criminal
- Georges Simenon
![Page 34: Working With Genres](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b309e44a7959d0528b45d3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
In case of doubt, let two guys with guns come in - Agatha Christie
![Page 35: Working With Genres](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b309e44a7959d0528b45d3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Raymond Chandler's rules for crime fiction
1. It must be credibly motivated, both as to the original situation and the dénouement2. It must be technically sounds as to the methods of murder and detection3. It must be realistic in character, setting and atmosphere. It must be about real people in a
real world4. It must have a sound story value apart from the mystery element; i.e., the investigation
itself must be an adventure worth reading.5. It must have enough essential simplicity to be explained easily when the time comes.6. It must baffle a reasonably intelligent reader --> Ideal Reader!7. The solution must seem inevitable once revealed8. It must not try to do everything at once. If it is a puzzle story operating in a rather cool,
reasonable atmosphere, it cannot also be a violent adventure or a passionate romance.9. It must the criminal in one way or another, nor necessarily by operation of the law - if the
detective fails to resolve the consquences of the crime, the story is an unresolved chord and leaved irritation behind it.
10. It must be honest with the reader.
