Mystery as a literary genre has roots in ancient storytelling, but it gained significant popularity in the 19th century with the works of authors like Edgar Allan Poe and Arthur Conan Doyle. Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841) is often credited as the first modern detective story, establishing key elements of mystery fiction. The genre has since evolved, incorporating various styles and themes, but its foundational elements were predominantly shaped in Europe and later expanded globally.
