I think I like Whodunit Mysteries the best, but anyone can have their personal opinion. Applause for listing all the genres, I didn't know all of them. Happy Sleuthing!

They're all great, but I like romantic suspense, because generally you can count on a happy ending. I read a book where they catch the bad guy, but the good guy dies anyway, which bothered me, so I like to know the ending will not involve the detective being gunned down.

Why does one have to be better than the others? I am sure everyone has a preference. Quantifying things by their characteristics doesn't necessarily mean one has to rank them.
