The Greene Murder Case (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

"Outrageous cleverness . . . among the finest fruits of the Golden Age" featuring amateur sleuth Philo Vance--from the author of The Canary Murder Case (Bloody Murder).

Members of the Greene family keep dying while the pool of possible perpetrators keeps shrinking. Philo Vance--the independently wealthy, staggeringly brilliant, not remotely modest (and did we mention handsome?) amateur sleuth--uses his detective skills to unravel the murders, though sadly not before most of the Greene family has been bumped off. But that's Our Philo: The Sleuth You Love to Hate.

"A proper detective novel, with puzzles, red herrings, a closed cast of suspects and, most effective of all, an effectively-created atmosphere. Terror stalks the Greene mansion and the tension oozes off the page." --In Search of the Classic Mystery Novel

Praise for the Philo Vance series

"With his highbrow manner and his parade of encyclopedic learning, Philo Vance is not only a detective; he is a god out of the machine." --The New York Times

"The perfect sleuth for the Jazz Age." --CrimeReads

"The Philo Vance novels were well-crafted puzzlers that captivated readers . . . the works of S.S. Van Dine serve to transport the reader back to a long-gone era of society and style of writing." --Mystery Scene
