Does a good detective story allow the reader to solve the puzzle before the author tells it to you? Or does it keep them in the dark until it's time to solve the case? I've always imagined the former would be the best, but in reviewing the famous detective stories of our day, it seems the latter was more commonly employed. Sherlock Holmes, for example, always seem to hold some key detail back until the very end. New to the genre, thoughts?

@sleepingbearcat It's a process of revealing, right? It's leaving clues along the way, but the clues could be interpreted different ways. Leading the reader to want o figure out what happened.
