What do you as a reader, feel like you get out of reading a mystery and/or crime thriller book?

To me it's always a challenge to figure out who the murderer is. I'm usually right 7 times out of 10.

Every story is good when you have some mysterious aspect for it, I agree Marion. I have to admit I got it wrong in the first two books of J. K. Rowling's Robert Galbraith series.

Different world views, cultures and characters, like all books, but specifically they are mind candy, totally out of my world of experience, and I am unlikely to ever be in the circumstances of the characters.

I love the way you put it Maggie, "Mind Candy", really describes a good mystery/suspense/thriller.

This might sound contradicting, because being into a good book, you are not in your own world. You are rather in the world in which the scene/book is set.

What do I get? Mind relaxing in a way. In the midst of the mystery and drama I find my mind at ease. Just me in my own world with a good book.

Mystery/Thriller books gives the reader something to think about. That's what I like the most. It gets you thinking and eventually you will try to piece the puzzle together with your own suspicions.
