About this listen
Gloria Guild is the singing "glory" of the thirties and the millionairess wife of Count Carlos Armando, renowned only for his succession of wealthy wives. When she is murdered, her husband is the obvious suspect, but he has a perfect alibi. So who could he have got to do it for him? The only clue is the word "face," penned in her dying scrawl. But whose face? And why? Ellery Queen pursues the glory riddle from the Bowery to a way-out wedding - and a surprise climax that will jolt you into cold shock. Anyone whonails this killer before Queen is either a genius or a cheat.
©1967 Ellery Queen (P)2014 Blackstone AudioThe story however put me off immensely. For one, it is extremely misogynistic.
Two, it was way too obvious and the climax was not mind-blowing like always.
It was quite hard for me to reconcile with this dishwasher-owning Queen Household tbh.
I very much liked the old stories.
Not upto the Usual Ellery Queen Standards
