  Who does­n’t love a mys­tery? Whether your find them intrigu­ing puz­zles or can’t-wait-to-know-the-solu­tion page-turn­ers, a good mys­tery is engross­ing and a lit­tle tense.

What keeps you up at night? I don’t need anything to keep me up at night—I am almost always up at night no matter what!
