Far too often, the bad guys walk out of the courtroom free--or never enter it at all.Jaden Terrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113218513166921429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-74979257004497282412011-06-29T09:58:42.892-05:002011-06-29T09:58:42.892-05:00I enjoy reading mysteries because I like solving p...I enjoy reading mysteries because I like solving puzzles.

I appreciate the skill involved in creating a well-crafted mystery story. There is also the idea of justice. At the end of a mystery, most of the time, the criminal gets what is coming to him or her. I think we all like to see that happen in fiction, since it doesn't always occur in real life.KHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989255622761073078noreply@blogger.com
