No special reason. The book of Nehemiah was also not among the Dead sea scrolls.
No. The Book of Esther is one of the books of the Ketuvim ("Writings") of the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible). It is (in the Hebrew version) one of only two books of the Bible that do not directly mention God (the other is Song of Songs). It is the only book of the Tanakh that is not represented among the Dead Sea scrolls.
Esther is the only book of the Hebrew Bible not found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Because Ezra and Nehemiah used to be on one scrool and parts of Ezra were found, scholars assumed this indicated that Nehemiah was in the Dead Sea Scrolls, too. Recently, a fragment of Nehemiah has been identified as coming from among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

the dead sea scrolls!!
Israel retains the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Shrine of the Book Museum in Jerusalem (except at such times when they are on foreign exhibition). They are not really a mystery since the Hebrew is readily understandable (although old). The mystery concerns the people who had those scrolls and the differences there are between the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Masoretic Hebrew Text of today.
