The novels, written in English between 1891 and 1924, range from 2,000 to 10,000 words each. This length ensures they are long enough to capture the full narrative structure of whodunits while remaining feasible for manual annotation. Unlike data sets like those developed in the SANTA project, which annotated shorter texts (under 2,000 words) for narrative levels and scene segmentation (Reiter, 2019), this data set contains annotated full texts to uncover complete narrative structures.XML, text10 narrativesN/AMystery novelsNarrativeNarrative levelsScene annotations1.4Mb
