All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVII

[robkelk]

I'll take care of Bizarro Episode sometime today.  I'm the one who first noticed it, after all, five years ago; I should follow my own recommendations and merge its examples into Non Sequitur Episode before turning it into a redirect.

Thanks, Bob.

Here's the entire content of Mystery Arc, one of the pages that I tagged for deletion last weekend.

The bases that must be touched in the traditional game of mystery storytelling. This arc is most commonly used in Mystery Fiction and Detective Fiction.

1. Start to Corpse
   
2. Evidence Scavenger Hunt
   
3. Perp Sweating
   
4. The Summation
   
5. Book'em, Danno
   

Yeah, that's it.

A list of tropes is not a Useful Note. However, as I said in the "delete" template:

While it might serve as the basis for a skeleton of a page along the lines of "So You Want To/Write a Mystery Novel", nobody has bothered to turn this into an article of any sort in the last eight years.

And I don't know enough about mystery stories to be able to do that... but if anybody else does and wanto to give it a try, feel free.
