About the Book The genre of Mystery Fiction covers books that involve crimes, in particular murder, that can often plausibly be ascribed to each of a set of characters who have a motive to carry out the crime. Owing to interactions with these suspects, a central character assembles enough evidence to ascribe guilt to one of the suspects, or else establishes a complex ruse that traps the guilty party into revealing themselves. A master of this genre was Arthur Conan Doyle, whose novels were pathbreakers: The Case of Oscar Slater, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Through the Magic Door, and The gully of Bluemansdyke.
