I suspect that mystery stories may require some greater consistency in the approach than other genre's ... but only some. But you're right, there are many ways to cook chicken. There was a blog article that did the rounds with "10 rules for writing" from several successful authors (Neil Gaiman is the one I remember, but there were quite a few). It seemed to me that that article demonstrated two things: firstly, there is only one rule - you have to actually write; and secondly, everyone does it differently.
