Pacing enhances the reading experience in a mystery novel by creating a sense of anticipation. When the pace is slow at the right moments, it allows the reader to soak in the details and clues. When it speeds up, it gives a rush of excitement as the mystery seems to be nearing a solution. It's like a roller - coaster ride. The slow climbs are for building suspense and the fast drops are for the big revelations.

In a mystery novel, the pacing is crucial, and long and short sentences play a big role. Long sentences can create a more languid pace, which is great for when the author is setting the stage or delving into the characters' complex emotions. For instance, when exploring the detective's troubled past, a long, introspective sentence can be used. However, short sentences can really accelerate the pacing. They can be used to create a sense of chaos during a chase scene or when a major clue is suddenly revealed. The alternation between long and short sentences can also create a dynamic pacing that keeps the reader engaged throughout the story.
