Mystery Mood

An author works hard to make their readers feel emotions in the stories they write.  Emotion is what makes the reader invested in the plot.  IDENTIFY which mood or moods the author of your mystery creates throughout the book.  LIST supporting examples to back this up, and EXPLAIN how these examples create the mood.
