457 Let's Read a Mystery

Literature/Film Studies | Registration opens 8/5/25 9:00 AM EDT

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!
