This story is a perfect example of a literary tactic that is seldom used in modern stories; that of allowing the reader in on the secret of the story! The reader's journey is thus not to find out the mystery, but to join the characters in their journey of discovery. This technique was common all the way through the 1980s, with TV viewers witnessing a crime in the opening minutes of a show, then ride along with detectives as they find clues.
