About this listen

Ellery Queen returned to Wrightsville to solve the mystery of a rich man - believed poor - who died of "old age," a poor man - believed rich - who committed suicide, and a scholarly drunk who disappeared. Shortly it occurred to Queen that the puzzle had a pattern. A twisted mind was committing murder according to an old nursery rhyme! Doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief…and to at least one person in town, the chief was Ellery Queen.

Ellery Queen is an old school sleuth with shades of Sherlock Holmes & Lord Peter Whimsey. Excellent in every way possible

Wonderful Period Crime Writing

It's very much in the classic Ellery Queen tradition. that said, I found how the plot line at the end was pulled together less convincing than others. Personally, if I was short of time, might skip this one and go straight to the next.

A good story but not as convincing as the others
