The Lone Detective started in early 2000s as PBEM game (play-by-e-mail), few years back was switched into browser based game. In original game Game Master was providing answers to players as they were trying to find the culprit in criminal case. He was playing interactive role, since players were given the basics of the case and were free to expand their knowledge by asking questions.
In modern version, which is free browser game, most of the cases are in "cold case files" mode, which provides player with all the data from police archives and it is up to that user to find that piece of evidence that will point to a specific killer.
The game still involves human Game Master, as we have to provide not only the name of the killer, but also the reasons and evidence that proves that we, as users, are convinced he was behind that crime.
In a way it is mix of detective game and puzzle game, because there two ways to play: hard way (you dig through dozens of document in search of that piece of evidence) or easy way (you try to figure out who the killer was and then just read the specific document that would prove your theory). At least that is how the creators see it, but wherever you are fun of such TV shows as Columbo or Prime Suspect you can find here something for yourself.
