Wow! What an interesting conversation. If you want to know what the general public thinks on these subjects, I always find it interesting to look at the top shelf labels in Goodreads on the book details page.
I’m completely surprised that multiple people don’t think that the book that actually has the word Mystery in its title is actually a mystery!
Scarlet Pimpernel isn’t a mystery. It’s a thriller (espionage) that happens to be a classic.
Time travel, characters who aren’t humans, worlds that aren’t ours equals Science Fiction/Fantasy for me.
Dazrin compiles states on publish date and countries, but I’m not sure where to find them.
