What Makes a Murder Mystery Theme a Success Or a Flop?

These days there are more and more writers venturing into the murder mystery genre. Your options are growing, with most websites like Medialaze offering several types and genres to choose from. Why the growth in popularity? Because a good murder mystery is thrilling.


A truly good mystery is challenging to readers. When a writer knows what they are doing, the readers can escape their daily lives and be transported to a different time and place - a world full of mystery and suspense.

Choosing the right murder mystery for your reader type is crucial. The factors depend on your needs. Do you want challenging detective work for your readers or more comedic fun? Or both? Do you like campy over the top characters that blend into your story without anyone noticing? Would your readers enjoy a modern setting, or another era such as a Speakeasy in the Twenties, or Victorian England? Would you like a dark Noir feel or a parody of the Sopranos? So many options!

A murder mystery is about telling the story in the most effective manner. A theme is just a mere tool; use it cleverly to capture your reader's imagination. And persuade them into the mystery world that you've created.

Murder mystery books are coming back in a big way. Medialaze has a huge collection of mystery books from where you can get inspiration for your next murder mystery!
