A good one often has well - developed characters. In a mystery with a love story, the characters' personalities are shaped by both the mystery they're involved in and their love interests. For example, in 'The Time Traveler's Wife', Henry's time - traveling ability affects his relationship with Clare, and their love story is intertwined with the mystery of his condition. Also, a good plot with unexpected twists is key. The mystery should keep readers guessing, and the love story should have its own arc, like in 'Rebecca' where the new wife is haunted by the mystery of the first wife while also dealing with her relationship with her husband.
Well, for a mystery book with a love story to be good, the pacing is crucial. It should have a rhythm that keeps the reader engaged in both the mystery and the love plot. For instance, in 'The Girl on the Train', the mystery of the missing woman and the main character's unrequited love and troubled relationships are balanced in terms of pacing. Another aspect is the emotional depth. The love story should evoke real emotions, and the mystery should create real tension. In books like 'The Silent Patient', the mystery of Alicia's crime and the relationship between the therapist and Alicia (which has elements of a love - hate relationship) are full of emotional depth.
