A detective fiction writer becomes convinced her lover’s death wasn’t a suicide and must prove his brilliant wife is a killer before becoming the next victim.
This is confusing because it sounds like the protagonist has two professions, a detective and a fiction writer. It took me a while to figure out you probably mean a writer of fiction in the detective genre. There must be a less confusing way to write that. I also think there might be a better descriRead more

See lessI also think there might be a better descriptor for the wife than brilliant which to me sounds like talented.
Other than that, I like it.
When a mistress learns her lover has died and his death erroneously ruled a suicide, she must untangle the true cause of his death.
It is interesting and has some of the main ingredients, namely Character, Inciting incident, Action, Goal, which are all really important.

It is interesting and has some of the main ingredients, namely Character, Inciting incident, Action, Goal, which are all really important.
I feel it lacks Stakes, which are implied, but we need more: what will happen if she does not untangle the cause of his death? Is there something original or spicy there? This is extremely important: Stakes.
Also, some specificity would elevate it.
Can we get a characterization for the mistress? What type of person is she? Why are we reading her story? Is she young? Is she poor? Is she a trained boxer? Or an orphan who is left alone in the world? Why is he her lover and not her husband? What will she gain or lose? (Again, stakes)
Another piece is the Problem or the antagonist and the conflict. This is implied, but what will she come up against in her quest for justice? Think ancient Greek tragedies.
Another thing, would be the mention of the World. What type of place and society does she live in? Is it a city? Is it a dystopian future or ancient Rome?
Finally, try to bring some Irony in the mix to truly make it unique.
Hope this helped 🙂
See lesswhen a young woman confess to a murder she didn’t commit, a police detective must, on a deadline, do everything she can to solve the mystery or else let a murderer go free, and send an innocent to prison.
Hola! Cuál sería el misterio que debe resolver el detective? La joven no se declaró culpable? o hay algo que hace pensar al detective que ella miente?
