"A delivery device for the characters" is a good way to describe how most mystery plots register to me. I was really impressed when Agatha Christie was able to force me to see and appreciate a plot in its own right in Murder on the Orient Express, because I'd already sort of settled into the idea that I didn't care about plots.
