4.5 incredible stars.
Considering the time at which this book was written, it stands out too good to be true . Lots of clues scattered everywhere and I promise, as a reader I was no where close the solution.
Probably as Rouletabille says ' we should be looking at the right end', which I failed. but the solution left me awestruck, not to mention a little bit of chill down my spine. Definitely recommended for mystery( locked room mystery) lovers.

I tried, but I just found it really boring. Stopped after about 20% read according to my Kobo.
I really liked this book and I find that it is really well written. For sure, this book having been written in the 1900s the language is different from the thriller or mystery novels published nowadays. The language is rich, the plot really interesting and full of suspense, the way of thinking of Rouletabille really impressive.
Ευχάριστο και διασκεδαστικό στον τρόπο γραφής. Από τα κλασικά βιβλία αστυνομικού μυστηρίου και από τα πρώτα που ασχολήθηκαν με το "μυστήριο του κλειστού δωματίου". Γραμμένο στις αρχές του περασμένου αιώνα, παραμένει ουσιαστικά ένα βιβλία αναφοράς για ανάλογα "άλυτα" περιστατικά.
I was interested in reading a "murder mistery" book and my mum told me to start with this one because it's one of the first of the genre, and so a classic.
If you ignore the misogyny and kind of not so easy to understand language it's a very intriguing story, with interesting characters and a guilty (almost) murderer who is just impossible to find out by yourself (at least what motivates him).

One of the best mystery books I've read; unexpected and a total page turner.

Je l'ai lu il y a un bout, mais je m'en souviens plus vraiment. Messemble que c'était «correct» sans plus.
Meh. Honestly I should be giving this one 2 stars, but I think my version was lacking because of the translation, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. It just seemed so choppy and annoying. Another thing that tipped it up to 3 stars was that the "locked room mystery" reveal I did not see coming. Kudos for that Gaston Leroux

It's probably because I'm grumpy and reading this last minute for a class, but *fart noises*
