I want Mystery to have its own category to ensure a mystery book wins the month (many crime books aren't mysteries, for example) while Thriller, Suspense & Crime is a catch-all of the other suspenseful category titles we've had. These two categories are sort of a complementary yin and yang so that it's clear that Mystery is only for plain old mysteries while Thriller, Suspense & Crime is for everything else suspenseful.
