Key learning points: - Different genres of writing make use of different plot and character conventions. - In detective fiction, common character conventions include 'the brilliant detective' and 'the faithful sidekick'. - In detective fiction, common plot conventions include 'the red herring' and 'the big reveal'. - These conventions are not rules: authors constantly subvert and play with them to entertain the reader. - In detective fiction, the reader is trying to solve the mystery too so the author plans the plot carefully.\n
