  2. You always provide the most interesting links, Elizabeth – thanks! The one that got me interested was the one about noir fiction. It’s a good question, actually: How much real/grit is too raw? The balance between being realistic and being too gritty is tricky, especially in (sub)genres that attract readers who don’t care for explicitness. Those readers still want credible characters and plots, though, so I think it’s important not to make a story too ‘frothy.’ It is, as I say, not always an easy balance.

    1. It really is a tough one. Mystery, as a genre, encompasses such a wide range of material–from gritty to cozy. Getting it right is a tricky balance and probably involves a lot of reading in a subgenre.
