These vintage detective tales appeared in pulp magazines of the early 1930s. They seem unlikely to be of interest to anyone other than die-hard devotees of the genre's early history. Most of the stories are extremely far-fetched in plots, motives, and solutions to the crimes at hand. Further, in a departure from the tradition of mystery stories, the reader is never given sufficient information to figure out the perpetrator. Little wonder then that one must proceed to the end to find out what EQ himself knows or has secretly observed. On my scale of 1 to 5 stars, I awarded most of these stories zero to two apiece. Below are the included stories with my personal rankings: The Adventure of The African Traveler (1*) The Adventure of The Hanging Acrobat (1.5*) The Adventure of The One Penny Black (0*) The Adventure of The Bearded Lady (3*) The Adventure of The Three Lame Men (2.5*) The Adventure of The Invisible Lover (0*) The Adventure of The Teakwood Case (2*) The Adventure of The Two Headed Dog (2*) The Adventure of The Glass Domed Clock (0*) The Adventure of The Seven Black Cats (1.5*) The Adventure of The Mad Tea-Party (2*) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Mystery.
HTML: In eleven stories, the brilliant sleuth tangles with a book thief, an assassin who targets acrobats, and more . . .
Queen's adventure on campus is only the first of this incomparable collection of short mysteries. In these pages, he tangles with a violent book thief, an assassin who targets acrobats, and New York's only cleanly shaven bearded lady. Criminals everywhere fear him, whether they work in mansions or back alleys. No mystery is too difficult for the man with the golden brain. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The hanging acrobat is more subtle but powerfully grim. The one penny black is one of the many variants on Conan Doyle's "Six Napoleons" --theft of a series of apparently valueless objects., in this case copies of a widely sold book. ( )
