5.0 out of 5 stars
Great classic mystery,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dragon Murder Case: A Philo Vance Mystery (A Scribner Crime Classic) (Paperback)
This is a great, classic detective story. Written in 1933, it captures characters of 1933 New York City well. Fun to read. Fun classic characters: a suspicious butler, a crazy old lady kept safe in an upper floor apartment of an old mansion. Really a good mystery. This is the first Philo Vance mystery I have read - now I want to try the others.

Dated but fun,

This review is from: The Dragon Murder Case: A Philo Vance Mystery (A Scribner Crime Classic) (Paperback)
The setting stayed with me long after I finished reading the book. Actually the setting was my favorite aspect of the book. Set in a old estate in 1920's Bronx, which is now a park, the accompanying map delineates actual roads, fort artifacts, and "indian caves" still extant. But the action is dated and really quite silly. Yet, if one pictures the story as portrayed by an old (old, old) film then it can be enjoyed as a bit of nostalgia.
