Stunning!! Best of my mystery list.., Sep 4 1998

This review is from: The Tragedy of Y (Paperback)
I came across this book from another mystery book, which ranks the former as the best. Curiously, I got one and started challenging myself with full attention and judgement. I had to admit I failed.. when I saw Druly Lane finally pushed himself out of the case. Highly recommended.. it's OUT of my expectation, but it's GREAT!!

Classic Golden Age detective story, July 14 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Tragedy of Y (Paperback)
A bit dated in some ways, but the plot is one of the most ingenious ever concocted, and the story has an emotional edge that stays with it even after two-thirds of a century.

How was the murderer murdered ?, May 1 2000
By "startravel" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Tragedy of Y (Paperback)
I looked for this book because it was recommended as a 'classic' with an exceptional plot. I was not disappointed, though in these days the murderer would not come across as such a shock as in the past. It is tragedy to see the same thing happens in the real world today with much more blatant intention (sigh !) I was still confused by the ending of the story - I know who the murderer of the murderer was, but 'how' was the poison slipped into the drink ?
