Mystery Fiction

Mystery novels consist of a puzzle.  The author provides clues throughout the story, but hides some important information so the puzzle can't
be solved easily.  The puzzle involves a crime, usually murder, and
tracks the investigator as he or she works to bring the culprit to justice.  Sometimes an author will use the same investigator in different novels.
