A detective story or mystery story.

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.

krimić

Definition from Jezikoslovac:
krȉmić m<br />DEFINICIJA<br />žarg. roman ili film kriminalističkog sadržaja
Example sentences:
Za malo koji književni žanr kao za krimić može se tako nedvosmisleno reći da je proizvod urbanog, građanskog života. Iako ovo nekom može zvučati čudno, krimić uspeva jedino tamo gde vladaju red i zakon. (Vreme)
