If we all shudder at incorrectly placed apostrophes, let's just correct the subject line, as above.

And now back to Harry Potter.

In the NY Times Book Review, Stephen King identified the HP series of books as mysteries rather than as fantasies. J.K. Rowling is equally at home in the world of Wilkie Collins as she is in the realm of the supernatural -- maybe even more so. Could we he ar from mystery-lovers among us as to the success of these books as mysteries?
