Another Escape Into The World of Ellery Queen

I arrived late to the stories, but better late than never, as they are thoroughly entertaining and never disappoint.
Great narration, which adds to the overall enjoyment of these engaging tales.
This book spans more than a quarter of a century, we meet a very young Ellery at the start, but the mystery is solved by the mature Mr Queen, many years later.

Great as usual.

A typical queen mystery, full of surprises and interesting characters. I wanted to know the outcome but I didn’t want it to end. 🥹😂
