Every mystery the characters solve brings them closer to the truth of what happened to Yuuko, but it also opens up some sometimes uncomfortable reflection on the other characters. Some of the mysteries have a happy ending, some....not so much. The story isn't super dark, like Another or Shiki, but it's definitely not a supernatural harem comedy like Rosario.
As for the annoying detective girl, be thankful....unless the anime changes things, she's not around much or as annoying in every appearance either.
If nothing else, come back later on and see if you like it then.

Shiki? Another? Ghost Hunt? Stupid tags. I regard Tasogare Otome x Amnesia as supernatural, and that comes from someone who doesn't watch anime because of similar genres or another anime's success.

Quoted these two for summing up my feelings on the matter exactly.
There's a lot of potentially good series you're going to miss out on if you approach everything with that sort of mindset, and that's really sad.
Also, to regard Shiki, Another, or Ghost Hunt as though they are the epitome of the perfect "dark mystery/horror anime series" means that you don't know much about the genre. Comparing it to those shows is NOT a compliment (ESPECIALLY Shiki).
