Genre MYSTERY & CRIME what is it?


Reading books MYSTERY & CRIMEHowever, all readers - sooner or later - find for themselves a literary genre that is fundamentally different from all others.
An astonishing number of readers read mystery and crime.
The peculiarities of such constant attention to mystery and crime by the most diverse readership has been and remains the subject of numerous studies.
But seriously, a detective mystery should matted the reader. However, readers are very different: some try to guess who the killer is, others try to figure out the killer using mathematical methods, and others prefer to get pleasure only by turning the last page.
On the other hand, the law of the genre requires that a mystery and crime doesn’t cover all areas of a person's life at once. A crime puzzle should not be likened to love or historical novels. Only full concentration on the plot! In the same way, the atmosphere of fear, anxiety and horror gradually thickens in the thriller.
The cornerstone of the reader's well-deserved interest mystery and crime is that the criminal is doomed to suffer the punishment he deserves. This is the logic of the detective form. Otherwise, the reader will be dissatisfied and even annoyed.
Naturally, you can’t create a perfect story of mystery and crime . The author must inevitably sacrifice something of his own, but he must have some higher value that would fundamentally distinguish him from other authors. The works of Hammett, Chandler, McDonald, Cain, Stout, containing such peculiar "Emeralds", from generation to generation remain interesting for millions of fans, young and old.

The Unexpected journey

On a normal day Emily was walking home from school with her two friends Bobby and Rae. Emily is in second year in High school along with her friends, Emily likes school. She is a hardworking pupil and she loves drawing and listening to music. Bobby is the opposite of Emily, he doesn’t like school, he always tries to get out of subjects he hates most, which is all of them, but he loves spending time with his friends and he is always on his bike practicing stunts. Last of all there is Rae, she is a quiet girl and she doesn’t show lots of emotions, mainly because she is half demon and if she shows too much emotion it can have catastrophic consequences. Because of this she mostly reads books and meditates, she is also very mature but she doesn’t mind hanging out with friends. “I can’t wait till tomorrow, it’s my birthday!”Squealed Emily happily, “Yes, it’s exciting... where are you going? Are your parents taking you anywhere?”Asked Bobby. “Em... oh thanks for reminding me, I need to go to my granny’s house by myself for two weeks, my parents say it’s because I haven’t seen her in ages but I know the real reason. I heard them talk about it, it’s because we are moving house and they don’t want me in the way” said Emily sadly. “So, your granny is nice though...Isn’t she? Asked Rae still reading her book. “Well she lives in the middle of nowhere and what’s worse all she does is knit, she doesn’t even care about me, that is also the reason why my parents don’t want to come, because they don’t like her” Said Emily.” Good luck then and don’t worry, I read lots of books and if I know one thing, it’s that in the middle of nowhere all the mysterious and cool stuff happen,” said Rae enthusiastically.”Thanks that helped, “said Emily sarcastically, “anyway I need to go home and pack, see you after the holidays, if I don’t die of boredom,” joked Emily as she walked down her garden to her door, the others waved goodbye and slowly left. Emily came home and found a note saying:

Hi Emily, dad and I are away for now we will be back tomorrow, probably, so get packed and ready to go because you are leaving really early tomorrow to go to your granny’s house remember take something to keep you occupied because it is a six hour journey there by bus, oh we left dinner in the microwave for you if you want.

Lots of love,

Mum and Dad.

Emily was used to her parents not being there, they were never there because they were always too busy with work. Sometimes she would not see them for days because of the schedule. The schedule went like this: Emily wakes up for school at 7:00am and her parents would be sleeping, she then leaves the house at 8:00am and her parents are still sleeping, then she comes home from school and both of them are away at work and they would take triple shifts often for more money so they would come home at 11:00 or 12:00 at night so she wouldn’t see them then either, and that was the cycle for the whole week, even for Saturdays and Sundays, so Emily would usually go to see her friends.

Emily slowly walked upstairs then into her room and she sat down. She started packing everything into a suitcase. She took five tops and three trousers, she didn’t get her clothes very dirty often and she knows that when she gets there she will be sitting doing nothing in her room anyway because it is so boring in her granny’s house. Next she took a few things that will (hopefully) occupy her for two weeks, so she decided to take two sketch pads, 10 sketching pencils (just in case), a charger, Headphones, her phone (to call Bobby and Rae if she’ll be bored, which she most definitely will be), a book (Rae made her take it because she said it passes time quickly, Emily wasn’t the reading type but she wanted time to fly by even though she knew it wouldn’t), Colouring pencils ( Bobby bought it for her for the trip as well) and last but not least she took some food and drink (because the only thing she remembers last time she was at her granny’s is that the only thing granny knows how to cook is cabbage soup which Emily hates). She was packed; all she had to do was wait till tomorrow.

She slowly walked down stairs and looked into the microwave there was a sad little baked potato with a bit of cheese next to it. She heated the potato up and sadly sat down to eat it. She looked out the window and it was getting dark, she looked at the clock on the wall - 9:00pm. She looked back out the window and it started to rain, she sighed at nothing in particular and walked back upstairs to wash. Once she was washed and in her PJ’s she sat on her bed and phoned Rae. Rae told her not to worry and that if something she can teleport over to Emily and she can stay the two weeks with Emily but Emily didn’t want to ruin Rae’s holiday especially that Rae bought five chunky books to read over the whole holidays so Emily said “no thanks”.”I’ll call you when I get to my granny’s but now I need to go to sleep, it’s a long day tomorrow especially for me” said Emily to Rae. “Yeah if something I will always be in touch, bye Emily” Said Rae. “Bye” said Emily and ended the call. Emily decided to sketch a little before bed. Then she looked at her clock – 10:00pm, bedtime, and she switched the light off and went to sleep.

Her alarm went off the next morning at 7:00 and she woke up and went downstairs. She got ready to go and we was about to leave the house when she decided to go see her parents. She went to her parent’s room but sadly they weren’t there, but there was a note left on the bed. She sighed sadly and opened the letter.

Morning Emily,

I hope you are ready to go, I hope you have a good time at your granny’s. Sorry we aren’t there to say bye to you but dad and I got a shift in the morning today. I will see you in two weeks, bye

Love from,

Mum and Dad.

Emily kind of knew that they wouldn’t be there; she put the letter in the bin and walked outside to the bus stop. She wasn’t looking forward to this she thought to herself while waiting for the bus. Then the bus arrived and just in time because it was starting to rain, she walked on the bus and asked for one ticket to Flow Ville, the bus driver asked, ” Is there a reason your going there, it is an old sleepy town with dodgy people, I’d look out if I were you.”Emily replied,” I am going there to see my granny and I think I will be fine and if something I will call my friend, she is half demon.” The bus driver looked at her strangely and said, “You youth watch too many movies, demons aren’t real little girl.” Emily looked at the bus driver and she realised that she better not tell that to people because they will think that she is a paranoid little girl that watches too many movies even though she actually does have a half demon friend, she realised lots of people don’t believe in anything, sad life they have she would always say.”Umm... I didn’t say Demon” she lied, “I said umm... decent... yeah decent, a decent fighter that is what my friend is.” The bus driver looked at her and said “My apologies I must have misheard you,””Demons? I’m too old to believe in demons, I know they aren’t real” She lied even more, ” I am thirteen years old today, I don’t believe in that kind of stuff.” “Happy birthday” the bus driver said, “Thanks, “said Emily then she went to the back of the bus and found a seat.

After the long journey she finally got out of the bus. She saw a very old sign that said Flow Ville and at the bottom someone wrote in pen “turn back when you can” she said quietly and it was ringing in her head for a long time. She decided to start walking but she didn’t know where to go, she went one way until she saw a lady waiting in front of a store. She walked up to her and asked,” Excuse me do you know where Misty Cottage is?”The lady looked at her in shock and replied, “It is that way but why would you want to go there? There are rumours going around saying that those fields surrounding the cottage are roamed by the Hide behind. The hide behind has the ability to hide behind anything and there are bushes and trees surrounding that cottage so it’s a good hiding place for it.””What is the hide behind capable of,” asked Emily. “No one knows but lots of people see a tall shadow like thing roaming the fields and once someone tried to go after it and they were never seen again, if you are going to that cottage then make sure you are there before night, everyone mostly sees it when it’s dark, “the lady said but with a concern in her eyes so Emily knew she wasn’t lying.

Emily left as soon as possible after that, she wanted to be there before night just like that lady said. After five hours of walking she realised that it was getting dark, she looked at the setting sun and she was getting extremely concerned about the fact that she was walking for a long time and she hasn’t seen a cottage yet in fact all around her she couldn’t see anyone, just fields. Then she saw a small speck in the distance, she could make out a small cottage, then it came to her. The lady said that around the cottage there were fields and that is where the Hide Behind roamed. Suddenly she lost sight of the cottage because an eerie fog covered the entire fields but luckily she remembered the direction of the cottage. She slowly started walking forward and then she felt a cold wind stir in the air but then her heart started racing because she walked past a tree and the leaves weren’t swaying but she felt a really cold wind and it was strong wind too. She decided to calm herself down and remembered that once Rae told her that if you’re scared, try to look on the logical side of things, so Emily did. She told herself that it’s dark and foggy that is why it’s cold and it was probably not windy enough to move the tree leaves even though deep inside she knew that wasn’t the reason why. After what felt like forty minutes of walking (but it probably wasn’t) she found the antediluvian cottage, it made her uncomfortable looking at it, it looked like it was staring at her, lifeless. Oh she thought to herself, it has been a long day and she needed a rest so she walked up to the door and rang the door bell.

She stood there, waiting, she was nervous but she didn’t know why. She looked behind her and it looked as if the fog had surrounded the house, as if she was trapped
