Over time there have been many different trends in mystery writings. The latest crime novels follow one or more of these trends. Mystery novelists have evolved since the first book was written centuries ago. The cozy read by the fire is no longer the popular seller that it once was. The audience wants and deserves more than a cozy read can be expected to deliver.
The advent of a more sophisticated reader has brought mystery writing to a new level of suspense. With the appearance of TV shows like CSI and Bones the reader is more familiar with the procedures used by legal teams and scientists to solve a seemingly unsolvable mystery. The successful authors of today's thrillers have taken this into consideration when creating the stories and characters in their books.
They want to know the characters and be able to relate to the hero. Whether it is a detective or someone with three PHDs and is simply very lucky at solving the "Who" in a who done it the reader wants to be able to feel like they could be that person if they were in the right place when something bad happens.
The mystery writer today must develop a personal life for the people who populate their book. Today's readers like to know what made the killer the way he or she is and they want to know that the hero has family and relationship struggles just like everyone else. Many of the novelists of today create super rich profiles for the leading character and some are consultants for the police department working the case.
Many of the thrillers on the market today take place in international settings and involve presidents or government incidents. They may involve mass murders or preventing those mass murders. There may be a multitude of individuals who make up the body of the book and must be developed as completely as the hero or heroes have been.
A popular means to success that has developed over decades for some novelists is the continuing story of one character. Some writers are so adept at this line of writing that they have developed a character following that nearly guarantees a best seller with each new segment they write. You can see this with the Alex Cross series produced by James Patterson and in the Scarpetta series written by Patricia Cornwell.
Mystery writers must maintain a very cutting edge attitude to sustain their reader's interest and keep them turning the pages. Some pay attention to what is happening in the news for the story line they will follow. Others may look to television shows that are successful to direct their lines of thought and create the plot they want.
The biggest change in crime novels is the involvement of readers in lives of people depicted in books. The story lines are as different as they have always been with the twist of being more technical than previous eras have shown themselves to be. Today's authors are far more cutting edge than their predecessors could have ever hoped to be.
