Mystery Novels

Mystery novels are a genre of fiction that focuses on the investigation of a crime, typically a murder, and the unraveling of secrets. They revolve around a central mystery that is gradually revealed through clues, red herrings, and the deductive reasoning of the protagonist, who is often a detective or amateur sleuth. The narrative typically begins with a crime that arouses curiosity, leading to a series of events where suspects are introduced, motives are explored, and evidence is gathered. The resolution usually involves the revelation of the perpetrator and the explanation of their motives, often culminating in a satisfying conclusion. Mystery novels engage readers through suspense, intrigue, and the challenge of piecing together the puzzle alongside the characters.
