Synopsis

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.

About Ellery Queen

Ellery Queen is a pseudonym used by two American cousins from Brooklyn—Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay (1905–1982), and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington Lee (1905–1971)—to write detective fiction. In a successful series of novels that covered forty-two years, Ellery Queen served as both the authors’ name and that of the detective-hero. The cousins also cofounded and directed Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential English crime-fiction magazines of the twentieth century. They were given the Grand Master Award for achievements in the field of the mystery story by the Mystery Writers of America in 1961.

This, however, promised murder, and murder we get in abundance! Look, I'm a simple woman: I like classi......more

Fun 1940s detective novel. I forgot how much I like the character of Ellery Queen. Of course it’s a bit convoluted and at times corny, but that comes with the territory.......more

Goodreads review by Mgb on April 23, 2019

I must admit that I enjoy a mystery that is not reliant on forensics only a scientist can understand. OK, so this is not great literature but sometimes you just want to read a story that engages the mind, takes you to a different place and time, and leaves you content. This book does that for me. Th......more

Goodreads review by Jeffrey on April 12, 2021

Serial killer at large in Wrightville, and EQ is on the list of those marked for murder. I somehow missed this one in all my EQ reading, so it was a treat to read a new EQ for me. However, it wasn't one of the major works. Certainly not in the mold of Cat of Many Tails, which deals with some of the......more
