Crime fiction invariably deals with dark and serious matters. Dead bodies will do that. Though other crimes may enter the picture, even be the focus of the story, murder is by far the most common driving event. Its finality makes it the most heinous crime.
The villain is usually nasty and deadly and only rarely likable
The story a mano a mano joust between good and evil.
How can this be funny?
