Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Frequently Used Words In [Insert Genre/Age Group] Titles.
I decided to go with “Perfect” in the Mystery genre! I was surprised how many there were! Have you read any of my “perfect” books?

Thank you! Yeah, it was tough and I didn’t want to just do YA. I felt like a lot of people would and they did.

I was surprised at first that thrillers would include so much ‘perfect’ but really it makes sense. It immediately lets us readers know to expect something *not* perfect will happen! lol. It sets us up to expect twists in the plot.

I didn’t even think of that, but that’s such a good point! Especially when the perfect is describing a person (eg. husband or nanny), you know that the person won’t be perfect at all!

Someone else’s list of mystery/thriller titles included the word “good.” It’s interesting that “good” and “perfect” are both used a lot in mystery/thriller titles but in an ironic way. We all know if something seems too good or perfect to be true, it usually is 🙂
Happy TTT!

Such a great point! And if the book is describing a perfect person, they are normally revealed to be the total opposite of perfect!
