Answer:
A detective story is one whose plot hinges on a crime that the characters investigate and attempt to solve. Also called “whodunnit” stories or crime stories, most detective stories are written from the point of view of a detective, and many detective-story writers feature the same detective throughout a large body of work.
The first modern detective story is widely considered to be “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” by Edgar Allan Poe. Since then, famous fictional sleuths include Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, from many stories and novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Hercule Poirot, from the novels of Agatha Christie.
There are a few subgenres that detective stories may fall under:
Police-department procedurals. These focus on police work and often feature homicide investigators and other departments of a local police force.
Cozy mysteries. These have a lighter tone than traditional detective fiction and avoid explicit depictions of the murder. They are often set in a small town and focus on puzzle-solving rather than suspense. Learn more about cozy mysteries in our guide here.
Hardboiled detective stories. These stories are usually dark and explicit, featuring a veteran detective who treats violent crimes matter-of-factly.
Thrillers. These emphasize suspenseful storytelling, often featuring chase scenes or murder sprees that the detective must stop before times runs out. Learn more about writing thrillers in our overview here.
Locked-room mysteries. These feature crimes that, at the outset, appear impossible—for instance, a murder taking place in a seemingly locked room with no other way in or out.

About the Book
Pathologist Toni Day and her husband, Hal, are mystified when she starts receiving grisly Christmas cards depicting murders, each accompanied by a twisted verse from The Twelve Days of Christmas, and she and her partners are suddenly inundated with autopsies on the corresponding bodies. The victims are members of a jury that convicted Toni’s old boyfriend Robbie of kidnapping and sent him to prison. Robbie is now out on parole and is presumably systematically killing off the jury that put him there, but the true identity of the Jury Killer becomes unclear when another parolee, a pretty female police detective, and a newspaper reporter with an icepick get involved. To complicate matters further, Toni’s parents are visiting for Christmas. Toni teams up with her stepfather Nigel, a retired Scotland Yard chief inspector, to interpret clues and assist the police in a race against time to catch the killer or killers before they wipe out the entire jury and then come after Toni and Hal.
