The mystery of who still doesn't know that console games based on books (or films, or TV shows) are nearly guaranteed to suck. 2. The mystery of who doesn't know that mystery/ detective games for consoles are probably going to suck. 3. The mystery of why non-gamers typically choose one specific game (often an obscure or budget title) to be the single thing on which they base their view of an entire pastime.

I always felt like a dullard when I couldn't solve the mystery. But maybe I never gave them a fair shot. This game sounds intriguing enough, I'll give it a try.
