Mystery literature

Mystery literature is a genre focused on solving a puzzle, often involving a crime, theft, or unexplained event. It typically features a protagonist, such as a detective or amateur sleuth, who uncovers clues, analyzes evidence, and unravels the truth. The genre aims to engage readers with suspense, surprises, and intellectual challenge as they attempt to deduce the solution alongside the characters. Mystery novels can range from classic detective stories to psychological thrillers, but they all share a central focus on investigation and the pursuit of resolution.
