It is not so much a whodunnit as a whydidit ?

这难道不是像侦探小说那样悬念叠生吗？

For me , a crime novel is never enough if it 's just about whodunnit , but it 's another story if it explores how and why a crime takes place-in the historical and cultural and social background .

对我而言，犯罪小说不仅仅是侦探刺激小说，而是另一个研究犯罪发生的过程和原因的故事在历史、文化、社会背景下。
