I have a lot of these myself which I'll try to comment below, how about you?

I feel like mystery is one of those genres where the author has to have a lot of trust on the readers. ๐Ÿค” So that it can have the kind of subtlety that carries through and makes for a more satisfying reveal. I also don't know how writers do this. It sounds like a lot of "show don't tell" which I am subpar at. :D
