The Roman Hat Mystery by Ellery Queen
4.0
I enjoyed this book very well. I hadn't read an Ellery Queen book for 15 years and it took me a full month to read this particular beauty. The mystery is engrossing.
In the preface the authors whet your appetite by telling you that the criminal has a remarkable mind. That's kind of a tall order to live up to, but this book delivers. At first the criminal could be anyone, but then it turns out that the murderer is someone in the vicinity, not unlike Marple or Poirot stories.
The book was pleasing but not cozy enough to warrant 5 stars. It doesn't have that type of pull on you.
