Being a voracious reader of mystery/detective fiction, this initial statement of the author and her subsequent discussion gave me pause.

rretzler I had never thought about it that way...and now that I do, having read many mysteries, I‘d say it depends on the author. For some authors, most, perhaps, I think this is true, but I have read some mysteries where the author takes the time to let us get to know the victim before doing away with them. Sometimes, this is a good thing, because they deserve to be murdered, but other times, it is a tragedy. I wish I could think of examples right now. 6y
kspenmoll @rretzler Thanks for your thoughtful response. You are right; some authors give you a chance to know the victim prior to it‘s murder. I think she was thinking of the Mysteries that seem to follow a formula/easy reading ones! 6y
