This one seemed less about the actual mystery and more about the background of the characters. While this seemed to be for the purpose of finding a motive, I found myself still unclear of the motive after all of the backstory. I liked the Queens though and will probably try to read the series from the beginning. ( ) An entertaining locked room mystery featuring corporate assassinations and descriptive writing. Layered with misdirection and intrigue it will keep you guessing at the solution to this impossible crime. This downloadable audiobook ably read by Mark Peckham who is a regular reader of Ellery Queen stories. This was something different in the plot of a locked room mystery. It takes the Queens out of their New York setting to a tropical island in a secret location. Security is over the top but yet there is a murder right under the Queens' noses. International intrique and secrecy along with family secrets play into this story. All will keep you guessing. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Armed men invade the Queen apartment, led by Abel Bendigo, brother of one of the world's most powerful men. King Bendigo of Bodigen Arms is an industrial monster whose tentacles embrace the planet. Someone is threatening to kill the King, and Ellery must take on the task of saving his hated life. Virtual prisoners, Ellery and his father are whisked away to an island "somewhere in the Atlantic." In a frightening atmosphere of industrial slavery and brute militarism, Ellery comes to grips with a baffling murderer who calmly announces the exact moment of the assassination. The trouble is, Ellery is with the confessed murderer at the time of the crime-so how could he have possibly done it? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
