>For some reason though, I just love watching all the clues fall together. They're also relatively short stories.
I think almost all stories work like this due to the nature of how you structure a story:
- Introduction - characters and concepts are introduced
- Middle - anything can happen and usually some important new characters and concepts are added
- Build-up - all the pieces are assembled and are being being put together, tension increases
- Climax - the puzzle is completed and shown to the reader/viewer
- Conclusion - payoff for the characters, they lived happily ever after
Detective novels often try to give the reader the opportunity to put the pieces together before the characters do. Other stories can give you a similar pay off though.
