📖 The Scoop

Mystery: Detecting Truth in the Darkness

A good mystery brings the reader into the mind of the detective: searching for clues, questioning suspects, and coming to conclusions. 

We like to play along, hoping to crack the case before the ultimate reveal. In a way, it feels like our real lives as we try to piece together the parts of our existence and discover what they mean. 

That is why mysteries are the perfect playground for the cultural apologist who seeks to explain what the facts about our world actually mean.
