Fans of suspense/thriller enjoy reading crime fiction but writing crime fiction may not be so easy. Crime fiction is a popular genre today, and hence it is found in abundance. This can cause the reader to get bored with the same plot, and hence they need something unique to keep them hooked. Here are some tips on things to avoid while writing a crime fiction.

- Don’t give too much information
Keep your readers on a need-to-know basis. Telling them too much details has the capacity to bore them, and you don’t want that.

- Mind the timing
Give readers information at the right time, and in pieces. Telling them too much may reveal the plot too early, and reader may lose all interest in the story.

- No harmony between plot and character
The setting of your story should be believable. As should the characters. And the most important is that the characters should match the setting. For example, you cannot have a story set in 18th century, where the duke behaves and speaks like a 21st century man.

- Do not include stereotypes of the genre
If you are writing a crime fiction, then it stands to reason that you are an avid reader of the genre. This means you know the tropes and themes.

- Not doing proper research
Writing any book requires a lot of research, and crime fiction is no different. Do your research and be thorough about. And research does not include taking tips from movies. Most crime fiction movies have unrealistic aspects, and while they look good on screen, putting them in a novel is a big no-no.

- Don’t be too gruesome
Though it’s a crime fiction, it’s better to nudge the reader’s imagination than to be too detailed. A single drop of blood on a pristine kitchen floor can be far more powerful than a graphic murder scene.

- Don’t avoid dialogues
Dialogues are a good thing in crime fiction. Imagination is good, but dialogue give word to that imagination, and that’s even better. Great writers can do everything through dialogue, conveying information and character traits.

- Don’t go with what’s everyone’s writing
If your plot is unique, more people will enjoy t. No one wants to read the same plot in a different story again and again. Maybe there isn’t a bestselling series out there about a blind veterinary surgeon in 14th-century London who solves critter-related crimes with the help of a tame leopard. Fill that gap.

- Do not overdo the twists
The “twist” is, of course, a vital weapon in the mystery writer’s arsenal. But that can be overdone. You barely came out from the first twist, you don’t need another one sprung upon you.
