I hate cliche plot twists.
When the butler did it.
The boyfriend/girlfriend being the prepatraitor
The bestfriend being the prepatraitor
Having the decttive fall in love with the crimnal
When it’s obvious who did it
Don’t have crimnal threaten dective/police with there spouse or child or family member
I like when you’re completely shocked at who did it!
You should have the person investigating the crime be the crimnal, but they didn’t know they did it b/c they have a double personailty or they sleepwalk or something like that! that would be very interesting.
When it’s someone trusted to the family who did it (example, best friend, boyfriend/girlfriend)
When perpetrator did it because they want the family to think their house is haunted so the family will run away and the perp can buy their land and make money off it.
Those are the main two that annoy me.
when things are soooooooooooooo predictable i abseloutly hate it
