Thanks Carol, you just got me more confused about slotting my WIP into the correct whole

Yay for suspense/thriller!

What, no Murder Mystery??? I think Police Procedural is probably what they mean, but hardly the same. A private investigator is a long way from Castle, or CSI etc!? The chart doesn't show it, but in the list (#10) it shows Mystery/Crime which is where my new series would fit. Give me Frost, Morse, Lewis any day, even if it's TV and not novels

I'm not sure, but it's possible it wasn't one of the most popular. This isn't all-encompassing. Just a list of the most popular.
