One game played by fans of murder mysteries is to try to spot the victim before the murder is shown. This game has been called "Where's Deado?" after the Where's Waldo? series of books. In many works, this is an easy task because the creators are making a whodunit and not a whodunin. The detective hero cannot start the job until the crime is established, so the killing is handled perfunctorily. The term was originated by Charles Hardin to describe some episodes of Law and Order.
