There is always a temptation to create superhuman investigators, on the model of Sherlock Holmes, whose insights are unfailingly accurate, when in the real world, even the smartest investigator cannot always figure out what is going on. Sherlock Holmes can observe the color of the mud sticking to someone's boot and immediately knows exactly where that person has been and what he was doing there; things are rarely that easy to deduce in the real world. That said, a mystery writer has the option of being as realistic or as unrealistic as he or she wishes. The genre does not in itself require unrealistic writing.

Mysteries typically involve solving a crime or unexplained event, focusing on suspense and clues to uncover the truth. Realistic fiction, on the other hand, portrays events and characters that could plausibly happen in real life without the central focus on solving a mystery. Mysteries often involve a clear problem to be solved, while realistic fiction focuses more on exploring everyday life and relationships.
