How can you tell if a book is a mystery book?

Answer 1

Well I don't know if there is in fact a certain way to tell. I would say look at the summary and tell for yourself. If that fails ask someone, like a librarian.

Answer 2

A mystery book typically involves a crime or puzzle that needs solving by the protagonist or detective. It often contains elements of suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists to keep readers guessing. The focus is on unraveling the mystery and revealing the truth behind the events presented in the story.
