5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning!! Best of my mystery list.., September 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tragedy of Y: A Drury Lane Mystery (Paperback)

I came across this book from another mystery book, which ranks the former as the best. Curiously, I got one and started challenging myself with full attention and judgement. I had to admit I failed.. when I saw Druly Lane finally pushed himself out of the case. Highly recommended.. it's OUT of my expectation, but it's GREAT!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Golden Age detective story, July 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tragedy of Y: A Drury Lane Mystery (Paperback)

A bit dated in some ways, but the plot is one of the most ingenious ever concocted, and the story has an emotional edge that stays with it even after two-thirds of a century.

4.0 out of 5 stars How was the murderer murdered ?, May 1, 2000

"startravel" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Tragedy of Y: A Drury Lane Mystery (Paperback)

I looked for this book because it was recommended as a 'classic' with an exceptional plot. I was not disappointed, though in these days the murderer would not come across as such a shock as in the past. It is tragedy to see the same thing happens in the real world today with much more blatant intention (sigh !) I was still confused by the ending of the story - I know who the murderer of the murderer was, but 'how' was the poison slipped into the drink ?
