A book within a book that gives meta treatment to the tropes of the mystery genre. A careful reader well-versed in the genre will probably enjoy this more than a casual reader looking for a good mystery, though it delivers on that score, too.
Murder mystery wrapped in a murder mystery. The problem with books that have multiple mostly independent storylines is that I inevitably end up preferring one of them and resenting the time spend on the other.
