In 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children', the strange photos and the mystery of the peculiars keep the reader on edge.

One characteristic is complex characters. In adult murder mystery novels, the characters often have their own secrets, motives, and backstories that are gradually revealed as the story unfolds.

Mental and emotional abuse within the plot can also be disturbing. In some young adult mystery novels, characters might be manipulated or gaslighted, which adds an element of unease. It makes the reader question who can be trusted. Also, when the mystery involves the disappearance or harm of a young character, it can be really disturbing as it hits close to home for the young adult readers. For instance, if a character's best friend goes missing and the main character is trying to find out what happened while uncovering all kinds of secrets about their friend that they never knew.
