Get Intrigued with a Great Mystery Read!

The mystery genre in fictional literature refers to stories in which the plot involves a crime, typically a murder, and an investigation to find the culprit. Mystery plots often include a crime, a culprit, a detective, some clues, and various twists in the plot to keep the reader guessing about the villain. Mysteries are often referred to as "whodunits" because they often turn the reader into a detective trying to figure out the who, what, when, and how of a particular crime.
