Detective
fiction is a subgenre of crime fiction and mystery fiction in which an
investigator or a detective—either professional or amateur—investigates a
crime, often murder. The difference between investigator and detective: Detectives are investigators with a higher rank. For a normal police officer to
become a detective, he or she has to go through a lot of tests. Detectives
are used to solve criminal matters, while investigators are employed to solve
cases of missing person and adultery.
