The term mystery comes from a Latin mysterium, meaning “a secret thing.” stories can be either fictional or nonfictional, and can focus on both supernatural and non-supernatural concepts. Many mystery fiction books have stories that involve a “whodunit” scenario, which means the mystery revolves around the uncovering of a culprit or criminal.

Mysteries began to gain favor in the Victorian era, mostly in the form of Gothic literature, which was primarily for women. Since then it has developed in both form and reach, and over a period of time has become a widely read genre among the male and female readers of all ages. Mysteries are important because they feature topics that are usually both captivating and troubling to the human mind with unsolved crimes, unexplained questions, and events in natural and human history, supernatural curiosities, and so on.

Moving ahead to books in this genre, Mystery books allow us to live vicariously through the characters in the text. Most of us won't require to solve the mysteries we read about, but we can envision that our lives are more exciting by reviewing the characters whose lives involve these adventures.

Fiction mysteries captures readers in an unexplained event or situation from its occurrence to its resolution, while non-fiction mysteries allow authors to traverse through unsolved or unexplained mysteries of the world. The genre can be successfully integrate with many other styles of literature to create engaging stories for audiences of all ages.

Mysteries and detective fiction enables the reader to be both in and out of a story. One of the most famous is the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, which Michael Chabon says is the essence of literary criticism.

The degree to which all criticism is in essence Sherlockian, all literature from the Aeneid onward, is fan fiction. That is the reason Harold Bloom's notion of the apprehension of influence has always rung hollow to me. Through parody and pastiche, allusion and homage, retelling and re-imagining the stories that were said before us and that we have come up of age loving, amateurs as we proceed, seeking out the blank places in the map that our favorite writers, in their greatness and negligence, have left for us, hoping to pass on to our own readers. We should be lucky enough to find some of the pleasure that we ourselves have taken in the substance we love, to get in on the game. All novels are the sequels and influence is bliss.
