Cracking the Case

By Misty L. Harris

Who’s your favorite detective or solver(s) of mysteries? A few come to mind for me. Matlock, Scooby Doo and the gang, Nancy Drew, Ironside (Raymond Burr)…the list goes on and on! In middle school when my class took the monthly trip to the school library to choose a new book to check out, it was like a rat race. Once we entered, everyone would run like gang-busters to their favorite part of the room. I ran to the mystery section. I loved Nancy Drew. She was the best. I think I may have read the entire series. Mysteries have always been it for me. I used to watch Murder She Wrote, Hart to Hart and Matlock religiously. The predictable endings didn’t bother me. I loved working with the clues to solve the crime.
