A review by wocytti
The Roman Hat Mystery by Ellery Queen

1.0

Very tedious, and the characters are very one dimensional. Nothing about this story is gripping. I am a huge fan of detective and mystery literature of the 1920’s and 1930’s, and this one was just clunky and plodding. I had guessed the murderer at the 2/3 mark, as compared to Dorothy Sayers or Agatha Christie where I am mostly left guessing (and on the edge of my seat) until the big reveal. Disappointed!
