noun [C] INFORMAL ［
a story about a crime and the attempt to discover who committed it:
It's one of those whodunits where you don't find out who the murderer is till the very end.
The Father Brown detective series by the British author G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) is a classic beloved by whodunit fans around the world. In "The Innocence of Father Brown," published in 1911, the priest-detective observes: "Where does a wise man hide a leaf? In the forest."
Of course. Hide something among like objects, and nobody will be able to pick it out.
Providing fuel is not the only way to fight terror
