A review by fernandie
The French Powder Mystery by Ellery Queen

3.0

I need to stop with the Ellery Queens. The whole premise of the series (Ellery writes the books about himself, but in third person, and they're being published after the fact out of chronological order) is confusing, and Ellery lectures (usually his dad) way too much about all the clues -- over and over again. The books could be like at least 25% shorter if he didn't go into extensive detailed analysis of every clue at least 3 times.
