Humans are always attracted to the unknown.
Crime
novels
 and TV
crime
dramas
 combine the elements of suspense and thrill to satiate exactly that.
Crime
novels
 have been around for a long time with authors like Agatha Christie and Perry Mason. Tv
crime
dramas
,
however
, have gained popularity only recently. In my opinion, the genre of
crime
, be they
crime
novels
 or TV shows, create an atmosphere of intrigue.
This
 concept is
also
 known as a whodunit. The primary objective here is to keep one’s
audience
 glued to either the book or the television screen. I become increasingly curious when the storylines present red herrings.
This
 is another tactic to keep the
audience
 engaged.
Hence
, when the culprit is ultimately caught and the reader or the viewer managed to predict it accurately, the sense of satisfaction is exhilarating. And
this
 unpredictability in the storylines has played a crucial role in making
crime
dramas
 and
novels
 an all-time favourite. Another reason for their popularity is the guaranteed delivery of justice. In today’s ,world criminal proceedings are excruciatingly slow and the chances of getting justice, in the end, are rather slim.
Hence
, when the
crime
dramas
 or books ultimately provide justice to their wronged characters, it gives their
audience
 a sense of fulfilment that they do not receive in the real world. I personally enjoy the genre of
crime
 irrespective of the format it is available in. To conclude,
crime
 shows and books are popular because they shock, thrill and educate the
audience
. Personally, I enjoy
crime
 fiction because it offers me good insight into the processes involved in solving a
crime
.
