Many people like detective stories. Indeed, they like their suspense!
At the beginning of the story, a murder or a disappearance occurs and over a period of time, detectives try to find the person responsible, and it's not always easy.
Captivated by a character, these people often let themselves be influenced in trying to figure out the identity of the suspect, at the whim of the movie director or the writer. This is done in order to make it not so easy to find the culprit, or the person who committed the murder. The different clues don't add up: traces of DNA, mud, possible testimonies etc... Very often, the reader or the spectator is persuaded that such or such character is the culprit, everything points to it and yet it turns out that it isn't him. "The game" consists in finding "the fault" in the story, a small detail which makes all the difference! Thus, people who like detective stories are on the lookout for every little clue or thing said during during the investigation.
The stories that are the most exciting are those that could actually happen to anyone of us in the real world.
I think that is why many people like them, and rightly so.
