An author of a detective novel is most likely to use figurative language to help the reader visualize a character.
These writers will use figures of speech such as similes, metaphors, personifications, etc. in order to describe their characters and make them easier to visualize for the audience. Oftentimes, these characters have very distinctive characteristics about them.
