Arthur may view that the solutions are all about logic. The detective in the mystery novel has to use logical reasoning to put together all the pieces of the puzzle. For instance, if a character has an alibi that doesn't quite add up, the detective will use logic to break it down and find the truth.
Arthur might think that the solutions to most mystery novels involve a bit of deception. Sometimes the real solution is hidden behind false leads and red herrings. The detective has to see through these deceptions to get to the real answer. It's like in a story where a suspect is made to look guilty on purpose to mislead the investigation, but the real culprit is someone else.
In Arthur's opinion, the solutions to most mystery novels often depend on the unexpected. Just when you think you've got it all figured out, there's a twist. It could be that the least likely character turns out to be the key to the mystery. For example, a character who seemed too innocent or too stupid to be involved in the crime actually has a big secret that solves the whole mystery.
Well, usually in mystery novels, the solution often involves uncovering the truth about a crime. Arthur might think that the solutions typically include finding out who the perpetrator is, what their motive was, and how they carried out the deed. For example, in a murder mystery, it could be about identifying the murderer among a group of suspects, figuring out if it was for money, revenge or something else, and determining how they managed to commit the crime without being caught immediately.

It varies a lot. Some mystery novels become bestsellers, while others may not sell as well depending on factors like the author's reputation, the plot, and marketing.
Probably 'The Da Vinci Code'. It became extremely popular due to its blend of mystery, history, and religious elements. It follows symbologist Robert Langdon as he tries to solve a series of puzzles.
The Church sees the influence of romance novels as something that needs to be carefully considered. A good romance novel that shows healthy relationships, like a couple working through difficulties with faith and love, can have a positive influence. But if the novel is full of negative elements like excessive passion without proper moral grounding, it can have a harmful impact on the spiritual and moral life of Catholics.
The church often views the impact of romance novels on society through the lens of moral values. If the novels promote values like fidelity and respect in relationships, that could be seen as positive. But if they promote promiscuity or a casual view of love, the church would likely see it as a negative influence. Also, they may worry about the effect on the family unit. If romance novels create a false image of what a relationship should be like, it could undermine the stability of families as people strive for an unachievable ideal.
A philosophical view enhances understanding by adding depth. It makes us think beyond the surface plot of 'whodunit'. For example, it can make us consider the moral implications of the characters' actions.
