The Bishop Murder Case is the fourth in the series featuring Philo Vance, an amateur sleuth who helps solve crimes for John F.-X Markham, New York County District Attorney. Vance is portrayed as a foppish, overly intellectual, snob, who, with his vast knowledge and superior intelligence, manages to solve crimes that the District Attorney is unable to even attempt to solve without Vance's assistance.
I finished the book, but skimmed over several paragraphs while Vance was pontificating. I didn't really care for this book, I found Vance to be irritating. The mystery itself was only so-so, and I don't think I will read anymore of these stories unless I'm desperate.
This fulfills one of the requirements for the A to Z Reading Challenge Author--V
It is also one of my books for the Mt. TBR Reading Challenge 2013.
