Lengthy, detective, simple
Explanation:
"Lengthy" describes "novel", and "detective" also describes "novel".
Normally, when you see detective you would view it as a noun, but in this case it is describing the noun "novel"and thus is an adjective.
"Simple" describes "plot".
Both "novel" and "plot" are nouns, and adjectives describe nouns. Therefore, "lengthy", "detective"and "simple" are the adjectives.
