A major theme is the battle between good and evil. The doctor in the mystery novels usually represents the good side, trying to expose the wrongdoings or solve the mystery caused by the evil side. Also, the theme of redemption can be seen sometimes. Maybe a character has made a mistake in the past and through the process of solving the mystery, they seek redemption. In 'House of Silk', the detective is not only solving the mystery but also dealing with his own moral compass and the idea of redemption in a way. And another common theme is the power of the mind. Doctors in these novels often rely on their mental faculties to solve the mystery, whether it's through psychological analysis or pure deductive reasoning.
