Question 5: Which book is credited as being the first mystery novel ever published?​

Wilkie Collins published The Woman in White (1859), which is considered the first mystery novel, and The Moonstone (1868), generally considered the first detective novel.

You really should be a bit clearer in your questions.
 
I thought it was The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, but that was not an option 😊
You are right Bullwinkle. The TriviaBot has confused the two books.
a) “The Woman in White” (1859) was the first mystery novel.
b) “The Moonstone” (1868) was the first detective novel.
Both by Wilkie Collins.

Here Q5 asks for the first mystery novel (a) but then gives the answer as the first detective novel (b).

The only answer is to shoot the TriviaBot?
