by Ellery Queen (read by Fred Sullivan)
An Ellery Queen mystery
Necessary roughage
The Queens, pere et fils, are returning from a vacation when a forest fire side-tracks them and traps them with a bunch of loonies -- one of whom is a murder. Well done for an Ellery Queen story. Creepy, too.
The downside, unfortunately, of this edition is the narrator. Whoever reads this book needs to have the overtones of a New Yorker, not of a TV announcer. This book is about two New Yorkers, it needs to sound New York. I blame it on the editors, not the narrator; they chose the wrong voice to begin with.
Three stars
