what kind of mysteries are there beside detectives? Investigations like Xfiles?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, even they are kind of detectives too, even if it's not their official title.

[solticisekf]

yeah, true.

[sarillia]

I have a friend who is really really into mysteries and she separates them into ones where it's people connected to the mystery who are doing the investigating and ones where an outsider who is a professional detective or just a veteran of solving these sorts of mysteries comes in to figure out what's going on. I read the secret as being about the second type.

[solticisekf]

That makes sense. Choosing to solve the mystery VS being thrown into it.

[(Anonymous)]

I think there's considered to be a difference between 'mystery-with-sleuth' and 'police procedural', so they could prefer one or other of those?

They could also mean that they'd prefer a different arrangement altogether. Maybe where the mystery is explored by an ensemble of the people it's happening to, instead of an outside/independent investigator? Or where the audience is the detective, and the film/book/game assembles evidence for them by choice of scene without the characters having to understand it at all? I'm sure things like that have been done, but I can't think of examples off the top of my head.

Maybe Harry Potter and The Stone? They try to figure out why part of the castle is closed, why is it guarded, etc. It has some elements of mystery. Hmm, I can't think of anything where the audience has to figure out what's happening.
