I think all genres touch at some point. There are certainly
romance mysteries and something called romantic suspense.
We've talked about how many westerns are mystery/suspense in
another setting.
My favorite sf author, Jack Vance, wrote conventional
mysteries under his full name, John Holbrook Vance. A lot of
his sf is basucally mystery mystery in an exotic setting. I'm
particularly fond of his Demon Prince series telling of
telling of Kirth Gerson's quest to uncover the real
identities of five pirates or criminal chiefs who killed his
parents when they combined to raid his home planet. At the
end of the series Gerson has managed to kill all five.
