There are only two kinds of mysteries. Good ones and bad ones.
Same rule may apply to thrillers.
Most junkies of the two genres can distinguish between pure mystery and pure thriller, but many writers seem to combine the two. It is a very lucrative field for authors and publishers. Throw in fantasy and you have the ingredients for a bestseller. Anything that the imagination can create is fair game for reading.
