Everyone—well, almost everyone—loves a good murder mystery, right? There’s something so satisfying about clues and context being revealed step by step, and nothing is more exciting than that moment when you think you’ve figured out the whodunit of it all before the lead detective does, whether you’re watching a TV show or reading a brand-new mystery novel. It’s a thrill! We all want to believe we’re smarter than the plot. Sometimes we are, and sometimes we aren’t. It keeps us on our toes and coming back for more.
This idea that we, the audience, can figure out the plot on our own is something we connect with in mystery fiction. That’s partly why the concept of an amateur detective appeals to us. When I say amateur, I don’t mean a newly promoted and trained detective in whatever country’s police force. I mean someone who is so singularly talented and out of left field that we have to suspend our disbelief a little to go along with the story. I’m talking about the Father Browns, the Miss Marples, the Jessica Fletchers, and the Agatha Raisins of the world. A tiny part of us would like to be like them, right?
