The "how" is certainly the most interesting, wouldn't you agree? There's no end to the number of possible culprits in a plotline, and motives tend to boil down to a fairly generic few--greed, fear, revenge, and so on.
But as for how the crime was committed--that's what truly makes the story, isn't it?
Well, I think mysteries can be really fun and interesting once you try to solve the riddles behind it all! Not all mysteries have to involve morid things like murders.
There are those people who don't want to think and despite the mystery genre. But it's true that the idea of this genre it's to be intriguing, Beatrice.
True, but those people are few, and their opinion on something that requires thinking hardly matters!
Its being intriguing is what draws so many readers, there are even a few mystery books for children, the basis of it appeals to everyone who's not entirely lazy. Even if you don't want to read, you can watch a film of the mystery genre. And even if you think you're not interested in mystery for whatever reason, there are still mystery elements in a great majority of books and films whether you realize it or not.

And unfortunately mystery isn't really my genre, so I doubt my thoughts on it would be very interesting.

Still, I want to hear what you have to say about it.

Well, it's certainly a very interesting genre. The reader is required to a lot more thinking than they generally are for most other books.
