The detective genre is recognizable by the mystery that it represents or establishes. Every word of a fiction novel is chosen with a purpose, and that purpose on a detective novel is to create suspense.

The novel is a literate, complicated, tight, a little offbeat and sometimes funny novel following the sleuthing life of amateur detective Joe Sixsmith. Joe Sixsmith is still a run of the mill, regular Private Investigator that lives quite the interesting life dealing with all manner of bizarre clients. Being on the bottom rung of private detectives having just started his investigative agency. His most exciting case for months has been a case in which he was required to investigate a man whose wife thought was teaching. But all that changes when a series of unexplainable coincidences occur in his life and leads three clients to him.

She tells Macbeth everything will be fine as long as he doesn’t show his fear. She does not understand that she has a much stronger conscience then she is aware of. The play reads, “Only look up clear; / To alter favour ever is to fear: / Leave all the rest to me.” (Act I, v, 79-81) This statement is very important because it shows that Lady Macbeth is very confident in herself. She is saying that Macbeth just needs to stand there and look pretty, and sell himself to everyone mean while she will plan out everything else, involving this horrid murder. Much later in the novel she starts to feel very guilty for the murder of Duncan, and eventually falls ill, ridden in guilt. Lady Macbeth has mentally wired herself to act as though nothing will get through to her, it is like she is an iron wall, she thinks nothing can get through, but in reality, the wall is nonexistent, and her conscience is very strong, it is just not present at the necessary times. As well as Lady Macbeth’s blindness to her conscience and guilt, she is blind to the consequences that come with doing
