"Your murder mystery needs work."
"What's wrong?"
"The detective solved it on page 3."
"He's competent."
"That's not the genre."
"So I should make him stupid?"
"Make him thorough. 300 pages of thorough."
My detective solved the murder on page 12.
I had 300 pages outlined.
"Who's the killer?" I typed.
"The gardener. Obvious. Mud on the carpet didn't match the season."

"You're fired," I typed.
"You can't fire me. I know where the body is."
Now it's a thriller.
