Another good novel by Queen. Love these novels. Fun to try and figure out what everyone is really doing.

As usual in Corrigan stories a fair intrigue and murder mystery.

Always good to read a classic mystery. I don't think I've read any Ellery Queen before. This was published in 1966, so a few references were dated (lack of cell phones and computers, a few phrases) - but overall it stood the test of time as a classic mystery.

Υπέροχη αστυνομική νουβέλα, αν και το τέλος είναι λίγο προβλέψιμο .
