detective stories vs. academic research
Detective stories and academic research articles both discuss certain evidence and findings to an unanswered question, however detective stories tend to be more popular. I think this is because detective stories typically contain dramatic qualities such as comedy, suspense, and action. On the other hand, academic research tends to be boring and less entertaining by simply stating an argument supported by specific facts of evidence.

Detective stories are less formal and are easier to relate to by a larger audience. No background knowledge is necessary before reading a detective story whereas an academic writing may not be interesting without knowledge in that specific area.
