First published in 1934, this collection of short stories features Ellery Queen. While the stories are short, they all have interesting mysteries that Ellery manages to solve handily.
I enjoyed this collection of stories more than the Roman Hat Mystery. Ellery seemed less annoying and arrogant in these, and even had a sense of humor of sorts. He also seemed younger and more like a regular young man, interested in women and willing to have a little fun.
He still managed to solve the crimes he came across, and I found the stories interesting to read. The stories are a bit dated, but given that they were written 80 years ago, that is to be expected.
I've got a couple more Ellery Queen stories on my kindle, so I will probably read them. I find the plots interesting, and I'm hoping Ellery develops into a less annoying main character, like he has in these stories.
