One characteristic is the blurring of traditional narrative structures. Postmodern mystery novels often play with the order of events, non - linear storytelling. For example, they might jump back and forth in time without a clear chronological sequence. Another aspect is the subversion of the typical detective figure. Instead of the all - knowing, infallible detective, we may get an unreliable or morally ambiguous one. Also, these novels often incorporate metafictional elements, like the characters being aware that they are in a story.

One of the best postmodern novels is 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller. It plays with the absurdity of war and military bureaucracy. Another is 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut which jumps through time and space in a unique way. And 'Pale Fire' by Vladimir Nabokov is also great, with its complex structure of a poem and a commentary that blurs the line between reality and fiction.
