The best cases are both whodunits AND howdunits, but most of the time it's obvious either who did it/what the trick is, so those don't come up very often. Howdunits are probably more enjoyable, because they're require more thought to solve- with Whodunits you can find out the murderer based on their reactions to what is said (most notably, the murderer usually isn't the one who angrily yells NO ONE US DID DO IT, LET US GO HOME). Adventure cases can be exciting, or they can be boring and trite (as is the case with DB cases in general).
and yes, lol gravedig.
Detective Movies Contest 2013: Information Thread Current Faceoff"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."
