The author is very experienced and active in the industry, so he knows what he's talking about.

He says: "So, the average wordcount for a typical novel is anywhere from 70,000 to 120,000 words."

And furthermore:
"CRIME AND THRILLER GENRES:
Crime novels often run a little longer than women’s fiction, so although 75,000 words is fine as a lower limit, anything up to 130,000 words is standard. Don’t go below 75,000, though."
