“Quick, Watson, the game is afoot”.

Mysteries have long been a favorite subject for writers over the years. Edgar Allan Poe is credited with writing the first detective novel. Over the years readers have been graced with the likes of Sam Spade, Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Pirot, Miss Marple, and Philo Vance, among others. A good mystery novel is a great way to spend an evening.

Now, with the miracle of cyberspace, it is possible to do that online. With MysteryNet.com, The Online Network for Everything Mystery, it is possible to relive the thrill of the hunt, and the excitement of the chase. At this site, it is possible to solve 3 mysteries a week and win prizes in The Case area, take an interactive journey through The History of the Mystery, and check out a directory to mystery bookstores throughout the world. There is an online “prequel” to the popular game “The Elk Moon Murders” called “Missing in Santa Fe”, as well as a seasonal site for Christmas crimes.

As a long time lover of good mysteries (especially the Dell Map-back Series), this site was a breath of fresh air. Take a trip here and get lost in the mysteries. And remember, the butler didn’t do it…..or did he?
