Historical mystery is a subgenre of mystery fiction in which the main story involves a crime that takes place during a time of some historical significance, usually set prior to the 1970s. Well-known historical mystery writers include Anne Perry and Steven Saylor.
Thereâs also a lot of variety in the mystery/thriller genre. Cozy mysteries are typically shorter, maybe as few as 65,000 words, though even that word count could be higher. If your first novel is 145,000, 190,000, or 250,000 words, start cutting. If you intend to be published by a traditional publisher.
