"Ms. Casey summarizes the plots of her selected texts copiously,
but her abiding message brings confidence that she hasn't given too
much away."--The Wall Street Journal "Books on writing should be
inspiring and should remind writers--and readers--why we fell in
love with stories in the first place. The Art of Mystery does just
this."--The Gazette (Cedar Rapids) "[The Art of Mystery] delves
concretely and satisfyingly into the complex pleasures this
particular literary climate has to
offer."--Pasatiempo "A slim but substantial exploration of the
concept of mystery in literature."--Shelf Awareness "A rich survey
looking beyond the usual academic treatment, for writers and
readers alike."--Library Journal, starred review "This slim but
astute volume is an inducement both to read more deeply and to head
for ever more unchartered, frozen, mysterious waters."--Kirkus
