36:T7c8, THE GOOD--This is an easy read book and reads pretty fast. It's clever too and features Ellery Queen (EQ) as the lead detective but adds a fun private detective as well as including Inspector Queen (though he doesn't come off very well here). It's one of Ellery Queen's older mysteries--which I tend to like better than the newer ones. I did guess much of the mystery, but one thing kept me from getting the entire picture--which was revealed at the bitter end. It also includes a quote for my collection--the thought of which I've noted much earlier:"Why must we always resent the truths we haven't thought of ourselves" Ellery Queen The Door Between Victor Gollancz Ltd London 1972, p. 249 [we referred to it as NIH=Not Invented Here at work]THE BAD--There are a few errors in the text. The West Philadelphia train terminal is presumably the main one in Philadelphia (where I was born & raised) and has always (to my knowledge, and certainly at the time of publication) been known as 30th Street Station. Unless there used to be another I don't recall?Also, the detective's gun is described as a .38 automatic. There is no such gun. There are .38 revolvers and .380 automatics, but no .38 automatic--this may seem a small thing, but it's not. And the gun is later referred to as a .38 revolver! Poor editing here.THE UGLY--But my main objection to the book is the last chapter in which, it seems to me, EQ passes the buck and cop
