People who write in letters to the editor complaining that something doesn't conform to their tunnel reality are whiners (says the person who is doing the moral equivalent with this post).
And actually, in the past, Detective and Mystery fiction has garnered it's own genre magazines (Ellery Queen's Alfred Hitchcock's and Spicy Detective come to mind), and back in the 70's sibling magazines Galaxy and If tended to trope more to Science Fiction and Fantasy respectively.
I've written about my preferences in content before, but essentially prefer works that push the boundary definitions: e.g., Brin's "Sundiver" is one of the better locked room mysteries I've read. It also is good science fiction, an interesting discourse on politics and a reasonable action thriller. I would recommend it without reservation to anyone who is fond of any of these genres.
