Romance is also a prevalent theme. The relationship between Jones and the reader might start as a professional one and gradually turn into a romantic connection. It could be a slow - burn type of romance, with lots of tension and anticipation. And of course, there's often the theme of danger. Since it's a criminal case setting, they are constantly in the face of danger, which makes for exciting stories.
A less common but still present theme is redemption. Maybe Jones has some past mistakes or the reader has some secrets that need to be redeemed as they navigate through the criminal cases. This adds depth to the characters and the overall story. Also, the theme of friendship can't be ignored. Even if there's a romantic aspect, the foundation of a strong friendship is usually there, which is explored through their shared experiences in solving criminal cases.
