[Review] As for the mystery of the tea leaves, the 'whodunit' is only half of the mystery. We still have the 'whydunit'—the motive—to uncover.

WHYDUNIT MENTIONNNN WOOOO

Look, I'm reading a great book, do you suppose they could stop blowing everything up till I finish it and find out whodunit and whydunit.

HINT by @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social concludes today, and while I was happy to have called at least PART of the whodunit and whydunit, NOTHING could have prepared me for that ending. I really hope everyone is there for the talkback, cuz EVERYONE's got some 'splainin' to do

Oof. I did not like Prom Queen. Lacking in thrills, story, and characters. It felt paint by numbers and I figured out the whodunit and the whydunit almost immediately. The kills are sometimes gory, sure, but they misunderstand why 1994, etc., worked. 🍞As a fan of Calibre, I'm very disappointed.

really enjoying Poker Face - the ultimate "whydunit"
May 27, 2025 at 5:05 PM
I did indeed! Unfortunately, I already knew the murderer's identity, but still very much enjoyed the story as a "howdunit" and "whydunit" rather than a whodunit. 🙂

for non-doomer stuff, can my writer moots maybe give me some advice?

which would be the most important to leave unanswered until the climax of a mystery (assuming "what" is a murder and "where" is the crime scene):

WHOdunit?
HOWdunit?
WHENdunit?
or WHYdunit?

First watch: La Vérité (1960). Shown on Arte as a tribute to the recently departed Brigitte Bardot, this Henri-Georges Clouzot courtroom drama has long been on my watchlist. Less a whodunit than a whydunit, as Dominique Marceau (Bardot) is on trial for the murder of her former lover. 1/5

This is turning into a whodunit, if it hasn't already. SOMEone got that textbook to Amazon et al.
I'm already more interested in the whydunit, because WTF.
Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
Hi Chloe,
This is news to me (and to my editor at Routledge.) I'm shocked to find this out. I assume that this is somehow a pirated edition. Does it include the section on Neurodiversity? Part VIII?

הייתה תקופה מסוימת שאנשים סרבו לקבל את זה והאמינו בכל הלב שתצא עונה 2 שתמשיך את הסיפור ותגלה את "האמת" אפילו אחרי סוף הסדרה כשהיה ברור לגמרי שאין כאן שום טוויסט וזה בדיוק מה שיפה בה, או כמו שהיוצר של הס דרה אמר: זאת לא סדרת Whodunit אלא Whydunit וזה ממש מוזר איך כל כך הרבה אנשים פספסו את זה לגמרי

There was an incident while I was out last night. This is a confusing whodunit case--

I'm kidding.

Ice Queen Kitty did it. It's not even a whydunit, either. My girl loves to take things down.

To paraphrase Dove Cameron, She's a letha.l kitty.
