The Greek Coffin Mystery by Ellery Queen

2.0

My first major GAD disappointment this year. Queen is known for not writing particularly interesting characters or a gripping narrative. He is known for writing good mysteries, and if so, this book should not count as one among them. It does not mean the murderer was obvious, it just means the solution was as dull as the rest of the book. It is written as an early mystery and promises further development in Queen's character which should be interesting since he is insufferable in this one . I do plan to continue, but have significantly tempered expectations going on. (p.s. expect the usual dollop of casual sexism and racism)
