Golden Goose by Ellery Queen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love this book! Definitely one of my favorite books of all time! It’s also outstanding in writing, plotting and full of fun!
This is presented as a mystery that would better be described as a Faulkner-esque study of odd characters in an odd town that happens to have a mystery involved. And it’s a great mystery! Especially the end!
The characters are outstanding. Each with their individual voice and extremely well defined. The writer(s) did a fantastic job with the setting. I do wonder if this was written by the duo known as Ellery Queen or was someone else. This book has a far lighter and better written than other Queen books.
This is just a terrific and fun book!
Bottom line: A must read. 10 of 10.
