Oh yeah. Definitely. Agatha Christie does it in just about every single one of her mysteries, with as little schmoop as possible. Well, except for the few where she began with the romance as a premise, and even then it's relatively mild.
Usually, the main feeling expressed is trust and faith in a person--i.e., that they're not the murderer. The actual hand-holding, etc., usually doesn't come until the very end.
