"whodunnits" or "mysteries" are what /lit/ would probably call a "woman's genre," in the sense that they are intellectually vapid. Red Harvest, for instance, only works because Hammett withholds key information as it suits the suspense. Once all the pieces are in place, i.e. once the evidence has been entirely established, there is only one way a mystery can end.

This is why Hitchcock, for instance, detested mystery; on film it is much more difficult to withhold information, elements of crime within the scene will be apparent to those who are observant. This is why he made mostly thrillers, and not mysteries.
