If you enjoy immersing yourself in the world of mystery novels and love solving crossword puzzles, then you've come to the right place! In this article, we will explore the various excuses commonly found in mystery novels, which can be used as crossword clues to challenge your puzzle-solving skills. 1. "I was out of town": This classic excuse is often utilized by characters who want to establish an alibi. Whether they were really away or not, this excuse adds an aura of mystery to the plot, making it a common trope in many mystery novels. Some authors renowned for incorporating this excuse into their stories include Agatha Christie, whose famous detective Hercule Poirot often encounters suspects claiming to have been out of town during the time of the crime. 2. "I can't remember": Another frequently used excuse in mystery novels is when a character conveniently suffers from memory loss or claims to have forgotten crucial details. This creates suspense and adds an element of uncertainty to the storyline. A notable novel featuring this excuse is "Before I Go to Sleep" by S.J. Watson, where the protagonist wakes up every day with no memory of her past, forcing her to piece together the mystery surrounding her life. 3. "I was framed": This excuse is often employed by the prime suspect in a mystery novel. They vehemently deny their involvement in the crime and allege that someone purposely set them up. This excuse leads readers on a journey to uncover the truth and find out who the real culprit is. A recommended novel exploring this theme is "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn, where the main character finds herself in the midst of a twisted game of deception and must prove her innocence.
