The structure and genre of the prose fiction are subverted almost immediately, allowing Haddon to propose the sight of a different world. In the opening chapter the genre of murder mystery is made clear through truncated sentences designed to create tension, "It was 7 minutes after midnight".

Throughout the composition, the author’s use of vivid imagery and metaphoric reflections of the battle royal, recreates the disillusion of the realities of racism and how it ultimately affects the black consciousness.

As a brick house relies on a stable structure to support the house, a story relies on a narrative structure to not only support but to add to the overall story. In contrast to the traditional linear storytelling, Chronicles of a Death Foretold has a circular structure; the narrator takes the reader on a journalistic investigation (also known as an inverse detective) which keeps time looping back upon itself. Each section starts and ends within a few hours, the action of the novel is covered, but with this, the story goes off in digressions, flashbacks, and flashforwards, with the different people 's accounts of what happened. Marquez’s wordsmanship is impeccable, and despite the confusion, many may encounter, the story is extremely tight. We learn about the histories of numerous characters and get a basic character profile of each character detailing, their backgrounds leading up to Santiago 's death, and the reader learns about where life took them after his death.
