"I gave up on this after about three pages ... but not forever. I have never read an Ellery Queen and I've always been curious. I still am -- but I'm not hopeful. The writing here is the sort of period style that I can take for about thee pages before I give up. Like many of the classics I remember loving when I was a kid ... I don't love them now. Still, I'm not getting rid of this copy (it's physically a lovely book from the Franklin Mystery series) and I'll try it again later. Next time I'll at least give it fifty pages to hook me in."
