How could a crime take place in a locked room which shows no sign of being entered? Nearly a century after its initial publication, Leroux's landmark tale of foul play, deception, and unbridled ambition remains a blueprint for the detective novel genre. This atmospheric thriller is still a favorite of whodunit fans everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars
great book for a mystery fan,
This review is from: The Mystery Of The Yellow Room: Extraordinary Adventures Of Joseph Rouletabille, Reporter (Paperback)
I read this book not knowing what to expect. I had read many mystery books before this one so I was pretty good at figuring out who the culprit was and how the crime was committed. The Mystery of the Yellow Room was a different story. As I was reading I tried to work out how it was done and who did it but I was stumped and I can guarentee that whoever else reads this book will be stumped as well. Ending is a great twist. This is a great mystery and I also recommend the sequel The Perfume of the Lady in Black.

Absolutely Fantastic and Bizarre,

This review is from: The Mystery Of The Yellow Room: Extraordinary Adventures Of Joseph Rouletabille, Reporter (Paperback)
This is quite a wordy book but it is almost impossible to put
down. You have to run do what you have to do then run back and continue. It,s that fast paced especially towards the middle of the book. An 18 year old reporter has to figure the whole thing out and he does a superb job. Of course now I have to find the other two books of Leroux' to read. I hope he wrote more. but not too many or otherwise I would never get anything done!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good,

This review is from: The Mystery Of The Yellow Room: Extraordinary Adventures Of Joseph Rouletabille, Reporter (Paperback)
I usually stay away from protagonists who have almost super-human deduction and observation abilities. I prefer the hard work by the likes of Martin Beck and company to solve cases, but the Yellow Room proved to be a great specimen of the "locked room" sub-genre.
