Synopsis

When Ellery Queen first meets the award-winning novelist Karen Leith, it is at a party held to celebrate her most recent prize in literature. The next time he hears of her, she is dead—murdered, so the police suspect, by the daughter of her fianc├®, the eminent cancer researcher Dr. John MacClure. With no other suspects and only circumstantial evidence at hand, master detective Ellery Queen delves into the reclusive writer's past to uncover the startling method and motive of an intricate crime.

About Ellery Queen

Ellery Queen is a pseudonym used by two American cousins from Brooklyn—Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay (1905–1982), and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington Lee (1905–1971)—to write detective fiction. In a successful series of novels that covered forty-two years, Ellery Queen served as both the authors’ name and that of the detective-hero. The cousins also cofounded and directed Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential English crime-fiction magazines of the twentieth century. They were given the Grand Master Award for achievements in the field of the mystery story by the Mystery Writers of America in 1961.

Goodreads review by Mizuki on November 03, 2018

The Door Between is one of the more outstanding Ellery Queen mysteries. When a famed novelist (who is soon to be married) was found dead in her traditional-Japanese-art-inspired household, her fiancé's daughter became the prime suspect since the young woman had been in the room next to the crime scen......more

OK, non è uno dei migliori Ellery Queen. Viola le regole del gioco perché gli investigatori hanno delle informazioni che ai lettori non sono state fornite e si lanciano in ipotesi fantasiose basate sul nulla. Ma è il primo giallo che ho letto da ragazzina (quanti anni avrò avuto? dodici, tredici?) e......more

Een buitenbeentje in de reeks boeken van schrijver Ellery Queen (schrijversnaam van 2 neven) met als hoofdpersonage Ellery Queen, detective, schrijver van detectives en zoon van de New Yorkse politiecommisaris Richard Queen. Zoals gewoonlijk is Ellery de belangrijkste persoon in het verhaal zonder wi......more

Goodreads review by Erik on October 13, 2020

Man, this book is horribly sexist and racist in light of today’s sensibilities. In the time it was written (1936), no one would have batted an eye at the terminology. Still, it was an interesting read as long as you can get past the troubling terms and see it as more of a time capsule or a lesson in......more

Goodreads review by JDL on September 28, 2021

Ellery, Ellery, Ellery... Perhaps one day I will again read one of your novels which is of the same caliber as The Greek Coffin Mystery or The Siamese Twin Mystery, or Halfway House. Perhaps it will be Calamity Town, or Cat of Many Tails, or Ten Days' Wonder. But it's not this. Oh, the plotting is c......more
