The Egyptian Cross Mystery by Ellery Queen
5.0
What the hell! How can I never find the murderer in Ellery Queen books?
A breathtaking book. Wonderful. This book deserves more readership. It is a very clever and exotic plot and all of it works. The first crime is glossed over, but its significance overshadows the buildup to the next, more sinister crime. There are bland passages when the hippies show up. But harakht is a funny character, albeit a tragic one too. Ellery Queen's deductions are flawless and I wish I had deduced from THAT clue(the bottle) the murderer's identity.
