Description

The mystery genre is a category of fiction that centers around a crime—such as a murder or a disappearance—tracing the journey from the moment the crime occurs to the moment it is solved. These novels are often referred to as “whodunnits” because they invite the reader to step into the shoes of a detective, piecing together the who, what, when, and how of the crime. Most mysteries feature a detective or private investigator as the main character, tasked with unraveling the case.
