Detetive-is a genre of fiction in which a detective, either an amateur or a professional, solves a crime or a series of crimes. Because detetive stories rely on logic, supernatural elements rarely come into play. The detective may be a private investigator, a policeman, an elderly window, or a young girl, but he or she generally has nothing material to gain from solving the crime. Subgenres include the cozy and the hard-boiled detective story. For example: Sherlock Holmes
