Whodunit

Criminology does not always limit itself to the “whodunit”. In many cases, criminologists analyze the motives of individual criminals and often ascertain (identify) the level of the “thrill factor” involved with a crime. Offenders are frequently inspired by the stimulation of danger and welcome the exhilarating challenges they find in outwitting others. Michael Crichton’s The Great Train Robbery illustrates Edward Pierce’s ability to employ his intellect, manipulative nature, and personal wealth

Peers was written by Susan Glaspell. “The play and the story were inspired by a murder that Glaspell covered while working as a reporter for the Des Moines Daily News. Although "A Jury of Her Peers" concerns a murder investigation, the story is not a whodunit as much as it is a mystery of motive. As the women in the story discover the motive by paying close attention to "women's trifles," the theme of the story is revealed” (learner.org). Jury of Her Peers shows an obvious stereotypical attitude by men

Clearly, this particular video was made to show Russians as the enemy and Americans as the heroes. The music used is very ominous and reminiscent of the classic villainous sounds used in dramatic whodunit movies. The use of such phrases as “the red noose” shows obvious animosity towards Russia. The video also highlights the brave Americans who are working hard to “fight their way through weather and red obstruction”. Once the video turns its focus

Mr. Wang-Woo glanced at his handiwork and smiled, obviously satisfied. I didn’t say anything. Well, I couldn’t with a rag shoved in my mouth and duct-tape wrapped around my head. But even if I’d been able to reason with the sinister-looking cluck, I wouldn’t have given him the satisfaction. I just knelt on the floor, ropes lashed around my wrists and ankles. My mind was full of thoughts, both torturous and terrible. Like, can I twist around enough in the twine to scratch my shoulder? It twitched

Moments later, we were crouched behind a hedge watching the men’s dark silhouettes mill around the mansion’s lower veranda. Mr. Mustache clasped a gargoyle knocker and dropped it several times against the front door. It sounded like a cross between chains clanging and a cannon blast. Then he tried the handle, and the door moaned open, scraping an arc across the dusty floorboards. He switched on his flashlight and was about to step in when he spotted us. We froze. “What are you doing here?” He

According to the English crime writer P.D. James (1920-) “for a book to be described as detective fiction there must be a central mystery and one that by the end of the book is solved satisfactorily and logically, not by good luck or intuition, but by intelligent deduction from clues honestly if deceptively presented.” (James. 2009: 16). This is traditionally conducted via a detective; a figure deployed within the narrative structure ‘whose occupation is to investigate crimes’ (Oxford. 2006: 202)

The protagonist of The Haunting of Gabriel Ashe is a typical eighth-grade boy named Gabriel Ashe. Gabriel (also known as Gabe) was forced to move with his family to the spooky town of Slade after a fire burned their home to the ground. In the beginning of the novel, we don't know much about Gabe's character, but before long Dan Poblocki (the author) reveals that Gabe is very grounded and mature--he never becomes emotionally invested in Seth Hopper’s game --and that he's very clever. After all, he

EPILOGUE A Stir or Worse: A Mean Nasty Ghost It has been almost a year since all of that and Mr. Ping-Pong and his pack of freaks now spend most of their time basket weaving in the Sing-Sing Correctional Facility. I received one of the baskets and a handwritten letter on unlined prison stationary. It reads: Dearest Madison, Please place the stone inside of the basket and mail it back to 1264 Sing-Sing Circle. Sincerely, Mr. Ping-Pong I gave the brightly colored—and if I dare say nicely woven—
