Detective fiction is a subgenre of crime fiction in which stories focus on a detective’s search for the culprit of a crime, usually a murder, leading the reader down a path of clues until they can all be connected and the mystery of the unnamed culprit is solved.

The boom of detective literature was after World War I, where both fiction authors and critics of the genre gave free rein to their creativity and managed to develop their works. It was a period strongly influenced by Positivism, a current of thought that defends the scientific method as the only way to reach the truth and that gave priority to facts over philosophical thinking.

In this sense, the resolution of the crime in detective fiction is done through realistic resources and logical deduction. This and more was what S.S. Van Dine was referring to when he created the 20 essential principles of the detective novel.
