Why do we love a mystery? For some it is the process of watching something so artfully concealed be slowly revealed. Many of us like a genuine surprise, something we didn’t see coming; yet something, once it is revealed, we realize is inevitable.  We appreciate an interesting crime that needs resolution.  We crave the intellectual challenge of solving a puzzle.  We enjoy being caught up in the cat-and-mouse game between the “good guys” and the “villains” in a thriller. We appreciate the protagonist through dangerous situations, knowing we are safe.  For our mystery group, murder and mayhem can be lots of fun.  Join us if you dare!
