Reseñas

Very interesting detective tale


(5 estrellas)

I really enjoyed this Ellery Queen novel. I was surprised in the end who the murderer was. It had a lot of different characters that were possible suspects. My favorite parts of the story though were the interactions between the son Ellery and the father “the inspector “ There was love and humor between them making the story more enjoyable for me. I really enjoy Mark Nelson’s narration. He has a very pleasant voice and is able to impart the humorous bits without being over the top. Thank you for reading this novel!
