Seems
even when on holiday James and Beth will come across a mystery to
solve. A local festival is going on, with parades and parties ...
and people who have vanished in crowd, in daylight, and yet no one
sees what happened. Those snatched seem to have nothing in common,
but do they? Lord James Harrington and the Cornish Mystery, by
Lynn Florkiewicz is the sixth in this series.
I
read and enjoyed lots of the Ellery Queen mysteries many years ago,
so The Misadventures of
Ellery Queen, edited by
Josh Pachter & Dale C. Andrews was a no-brainer for me to pluck
off the shelf. What a wonderful collection! There are parodies, and
satires, and ... pastiche (a new word!) ... stories written in the
style of the original. There is an elderly Ellery (weak in body, but
strong in mind), and a somewhat silly Celery Green. If you liked the
Dannay/Lee books, you should enjoy this.
