When it comes to a good mystery, what do you want to see more of? Character, plot, and setting ideas welcome.

(btw this isn't limited to murder mysteries)

Murder. And theivery.

I just wanna see better plots. It's all "Oh-someone killed someone lets look for clues dopededopededope". I can often predict who the killer is. I watch the 2006 show Psych (great show,btw) and I can usually guess who the killer is before the "psychic" guy does. I just want more-mystery.

Agreed. In my 'mystery'ish series, the main duo isn't two detectives, it's a trio of a med student, a private eye/actor, and a lawyer. The mystery isn't a 'who dunnit' it's more of a 'how can we stop him' mystery.

More horror, in the mystery books i read they never explain what actually happened just "Oh this person was murdered."

Once my friends and I did a murder mystery where everyone faked their deaths for an April Fool's prank. Two years later we did it again and it ended up being a giant and extremely venomous spider bite instead (bc of the props we had, they had to directly impact the story)

More struggle to find the culprit! It's not that easy to find a criminal, especially if they're experienced.

I'd really like more Westing Game style mysteries.
