What are some, if not all, types of mystery books?
- traditional, cozy, malice: cozy settings (which can be in a city as long as the setting is confined and cozy)
- Golden Age: took place (roughly) from the late 1900s thru the end of WWII.
- Hardboiled PI: a loner who works for justice in a corrupt world.
- Noir: works carrying a pessimistic view of the world; emerged during the 1930s.
- Paranormal/urban fantasy: echoes of nineteenth-century Gothic works.
- Police Procedural: follows cops in their investigations.
There are more...and subgenres that include suspense and other genres in the writing.
