Mystery stories are stories where there is a puzzle to be solved, such as a crime or a theft or a kidnapping. Any sort of situation where something needs to be figured out would be a mystery.
An example of mystery in short stories is "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allan Poe. In this story, the protagonist solves a seemingly unsolvable crime involving a brutal double murder with puzzling clues, creating a sense of suspense and intrigue as the reader tries to unravel the mystery alongside the character.
The Sherlock Holmes stories are pretty short, as are Agatha Christie's short story collections.
