Mystery Genre Report

Usual Characteristics of the Mystery Genre
There is always going to be a case, mystery, or missing person/thing. Usually mystery genres contain a bad guy of some sorts, for example in the film Nancy Drew (released in 2007) the villain Dashiel Zachary Biedermeyer did many bad things to the daughter of Dehalia Draycott just because he wanted the will of passed away Dehlia Draycott.
Likes and Dislikes of the Mystery Genre
Likes:
I love this genre because solving mysteries is an eventful read! It also contains multiple plot twists and up down climaxes.
Dislikes:
Sometimes when I read even if it is a great book I just don't appeal to the book and it'll make it a boring read if I'm not into it. And sometimes it takes a while for things to get interesting in a book.
