The problem isn't with the mystery tropes, it's with the execution. Information dumps once the villain of the piece is revealed tell me that the author did a lousy job.
One annoying thing that I'm seeing more often lately is two disconnected villains, in domestic suspense especially. Two people both have a grudge against someone, and the reader is led to eliminate both as the villain because neither can be responsible for all the dastardly doings.
