Standard popular/general fiction for adults seems to be 70,000 to 120,000. But again, only if it's your first book. Most agents and publishers will be looking for something in this range.

This is just the majority so that there is a greater chance (although slim as it is anyway - not being negative, just the way it is for us all) of a publisher or agent picking up our work.
