All mystery whether it be short story, novel, or screenplay, demands attention to all the elements of fiction: plot, pace, point of view, character, setting, dialogue. It also requires the understanding that in a mystery something lies behind the actions of the characters, something not fully understood until the mystery is unraveled.
