Reading is a pastime shared by many. Settling down with a good book is relaxing and therapeutic. Fiction is a very popular choice among readers especially murder mystery books.
There are many television shows on these days that center around crime and forensics, and this interest translates directly to stories about crime including murder. In stories, solving crime is exciting and often within the reach of the average person. Lots of people like to solve puzzles, and that is just what these books entail. Guessing the identity of whodunit is half the fun.
Mysteries are also action packed and suspenseful and might cause the reader to leave the light on at night! The good guys are endearing and bad guys we love to hate. We get to see how both of them feel and react to different situations.
Murder mysteries dig deeper than what we might see on the news or in the paper. These books show us the story behind a crime-what happens that the general public does not see. The main characters are able to get out of trouble every time, which is not often the case in reality. These stories can make us feel that if our lives end tragically that someone will indeed care and murderers will be brought to justice.
People often have a fear of death and these stories allow us to face it nonconfrontationally. In our modern society we often do not experience death in all its glory, it is handled by hospital workers, law enforcement personnel, and funeral home workers. This can enable us to see what happens after murder or death without becoming emotionally distraught.
In murder mysteries, justice is always served-perpetrators of crimes get what is coming to them. This is in contrast with reality where sometimes criminals are not apprehended or may beat their charges on technicalities. Often in stories, all of the loose end are tied up and there is a happy ending.
It is also interesting to delve into the personalities of the victims, the criminals, and the protagonists. Most people are not psychologists so seeing the motivation behind why people might possibly do what they do is fascinating. What drives people to commit these types of crimes that most people cannot imagine doing?
Murder mysteries are one genre that is realistic and plausible. Science fiction and other related fields may ask the reader to immerse themselves in a different culture with an odd language or social structure. A mystery is set in the real world, past or present, so there is little thought required to become involved in the story.
A car crash or train wreck causes most people to slow down and look. We are fascinated by tragedy. We are drawn to the bizarre and macabre. Through murder mystery books we can be a part of a tragic event without fear of being harmed. These stories are entertaining, quite often educational, and they also make us think.
