Philo Vance and The Dark And Stormy Night,
This review is from: The Greene Murder Case (Paperback)
The Greene Murder Case is my favorite S.S. Van Dine book, and not just because it was the first of his series that I read.Reading this book is like viewing a fabulous black and white movie from the 1930's.It has everything--a dark,brooding mansion,a cast of dark,brooding suspects,mood-setting snowstorms, murder, many, many dark and stormy nights, a dark library filled with dusty tomes lit only by a guttering candle! What more could a mystery lover ask? Even though Vance's pretentious banter gets tiring, they just don't write 'em like this anymore. Sigh.

Who did the Greene Family In?,
By Ramona Honan "reviews-by-melva" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Greene Murder Case (Paperback)
This book was supposed to be last the trilogy with the Benson Murder and Canary Murder being the first two. The first book was to be about a single man, the second book on a couple, and this book on a family.The plot involves the murders of family members of the Greene family. It grows to be rather convoluted because at the end there are only two suspects left, and Philo Vance stays up an entire night figuring out which one of them actually was the murderer. Still it was a fun read of the old school of detectives, and I recommend it highly. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Classis source of many cliches,
By Ken Braithwaite - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Greene Murder Case (Hardcover)
There is a lot to dislike about S S Van Dine and Philo Vance, the main influence on the creation of many other Golden Age detectives, but in this book we see all the things to like. Fiendishly clever, good atmosphere, and Vance is not too far over the top. Also very good is the Bishop Murder Case.
