Mystery novels can vary, but many are in the 60,000 - 80,000 word range. They need to keep the plot moving and not over - complicate things with too many words. However, some complex mystery series may have longer books.

In general, genres like romance often have a moderate word count, typically not too long as they focus on the relationship development. Maybe around 70,000 - 90,000 words.

Science fiction and fantasy, especially epic ones, can have very high word counts. They need to build new worlds, explain technologies or magic systems, etc. Some can be over 100,000 words, while shorter ones in these genres might be around 80,000 - 90,000 words.
