detailed narrative
In-depth story
A detailed narrative is an account of events told with extensive description, particulars, and specificity.
The phrase appears in legal, journalistic, and academic contexts where thoroughness matters: The detective's report included a detailed narrative of the suspect's movements.
It emphasizes completeness—not just what happened, but the circumstances, sequence, and relevant specifics.
