A review by katieanne4
The Greek Coffin Mystery by Ellery Queen

2.0

I probably won't read any more from this series. The idea is that it's a logic puzzle where you are given all the information you need to figure out the answer, and it felt a little like that-- too clinical, not enough of the human element. From the beginning, when all the characters were introduced at once and I couldn't keep anyone straight, I knew that this wasn't going to be as good as my favorites: Dorothy Sayers, P.D. James, Rex Stout-- they have recurring characters but each mystery features a different cast of suspects and discovering their various stories as we come closer to solving the case is a big part of the appeal for me.
