English term or phrase: whodunit

Definition from Merriam-Webster:
A detective story or mystery story.

Example sentence(s):

A good way to kill the suspense in your whodunit is to make your antagonist predictable and cartoonish. Alyssa Mackay
Are we in a new Golden Age of the whodunit? Telegraph
While Agatha Christie is still the first to spring to mind when thinking of the ultimate ‘whodunit’ books, detectives, murderers and victims have changed a lot since then; the breadth of crime, thrillers, detective and psychological novels out there, keeping us on tenterhooks until the last few pages, is vast. WH Smith

Definition from по dictionary.com:
история за някакъв вид престъпление (например, но не само: убийство или поредица от убийства, кражба или поредица от кражби) и разкриване на престъпника; детективска история.

Example sentence(s):

Криминалната литература (романи, повести, разкази, в разговорната реч познати като криминалѐта) описва художествено разкриването на загадка, поставена пред главното действащо лице в произведението. Най-често става въпрос за убийство, кражба или друго престъпление, чийто извършител героят на творбата – детектив, комисар, обикновен гражданин – има за цел да разкрие. - https://bg.wikipedia.org

кримка

Definition from own experience or research:
"Кримка" е още по-разговорен вариант на "криминале"

Example sentence(s):

В „Осем перфектни убийства“ Питър Суонсън ни повежда из света на криминалните романи – класически и модерни, в класации, редки и популярни. Всички почитатели на хубавата кримка ще могат да почерпят огромни дози вдъхновение за следващите си четива. - lira.bg
