I haven't read any mystery books (childhood or otherwise). I'm interested in trying it out, but am hoping for some suggestions (fiction only).
I'm not entirely sure what the sub-genres are – but I don't think I'd be into courtroom/legal/cop stories (I say that because I interact in those spaces through work and I don't find that aspect of my job particularly interesting or compelling).
Thanks!

I read a lot in the mystery/thriller area, and here are a few of my suggestions:
* Riley Sager: *The House Across the Lake*
* Jean Hanff Korelitz: *The Plot*
* Liz Moore: *The God of the Woods*
* Tana French: *The Witch Elm*
The *Rivers of London* series by Ben Aaronovitch are detective/fantasy novels, and are a lot of fun
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
The Guest List by Lucy Foley
The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley
The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware
The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware
Flavia De Luce series. It will appeal to your younger self who missed out on mysteries.
Charlie Donlea has a lot of good mystery/thrillers; I really enjoyed Don’t Believe It, Long Time Gone, Those Empty Eyes, and Twenty Years Later
Definitely try a classic-Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allen Poe
