The Chinese Orange Mystery by Ellery Queen

3.0

Invited to come early to a dinner party, Ellery Queen walks instead into a bizarre crime scene where everything, from the clothes on the victim's back to the book cases in the room, is backward. Not only that, no one involved in the case seems to know who this victim is. It takes some time for Ellery to figure all of this out, as well as why two spears were added to the victims clothes, making it look like he had giant horns.

The solution was a bit convoluted and I'm still not sure I understood, but the character development was interesting and following the action was fun.
