Understanding Technical Terms in Mystery Literature
Detective stories often rely on specific technical terms to build suspense and guide the reader through the plot. Words like 'clue,' 'motive,' 'alibi,' and 'suspect' are essential for understanding the narrative. For example, a detective might examine a 'clue' found at the scene, such as a footprint or a torn piece of fabric, to solve the mystery. When characters provide their 'alibi,' they explain where they were during the time of the crime. These terms help shape the story and engage the reader in the mystery-solving process.
