6 Elements of a mystery

A clue is a hint, but is different than an evidence. You can see the evidence right in front of you, but clues are hints that need to be put together with the mind.


In mystery novels, there is tension, danger or suspense near the end, when the detective solves the case. It gets dangerous as the villain tries to kill the inspector. Like the picture above, car chases to catch the villain is suspenseful.

There are always evidence left behind a crime scene. An evidence is a tangible hint left behind after the crime. You can see it, right there. For example, it could be guns that was used to kill somebody, or bloody bandages. Everything is important because it can be used to help solve the crime.


There are sometimes witnesses to a crime. A witness is somebody who saw the crime take place. For instance, the picture above, two robbers are trying to rob somewhere. They are holding guns and telling everybody to freeze. The reception woman and the woman standing next to the counters are the witnesses, since they saw the robbers robbing.



Crime. There is always a crime in a mystery story.
A crime is a problem that needs to be solved. Like the picture,
somebody is trying to stop the woman from screaming. Obviously, that somebody has done something illegal that is not allowed. Most crimes are illegal.



There is always a detective in a mystery story. The detective is the one who solves the crime. The detective on the picture is inspecting a newspaper, probably evidence left on the crime scene.
