Halfway House by Ellery Queen

4.0

Cleverly crafted murder mystery first published in 1936 by Frederic Dannay and Manfred B, Lee, under the pen name Ellery Queen. Queen, of course, is the detective solving the mystery of a body found in a house where it’s obvious no one lived. Half way between NYC and Philadelphia Pennsylvania, the house was a place for the murder victim, who led a double life, to switch identities.

I had an inkling of who the murderer was this time, but based only on one fact, and no clues. These guys were good.

Read this if: you love a classic murder mystery; or you want a small taste of NYC society in the 1930s. 3½ stars
