QED

Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995)

Why readers enjoy mysteries lies in resolution. The crime is solved, the villain apprehended. In real life, there often isn’t any resolution or if there is one, it occurs long after all the cast of characters have departed the earth. Are you the kind of person that likes everything to fit in place? Have you been accused of wanting everything tied up in a neat little bow, with the pieces of the puzzle fitting together too precociously for believability? Perhaps you want answers that are not within reach, not within the ken of the doctor, lawyer, financial consultant (no one can ever look into a crystal ball as far as markets are concerned) or scientist. About this latter, no heavenly body is asteroid proof. If you really want certainty, read a book!
