Shelves: suspense-mystery

The second of the Drury Lane series and arguably the more well-known title by the Ellery Queen duo (aka Barnaby Ross), this one was more enjoyable than its predecessor, albeit equally long-winded, which I’ve come to accept as the authors’ style.

Just like The Tragedy of X , the culprit came out of the left and while this artistic license seemed to be taken to give the intended shock effect, it did not work as well for me because there’s hardly any character buildup involving the reader’s atten ...more

The other day I read this book's predecessor, The Tragedy of X, and, while I found it far from dreadful, it did seem to represent not so much a larval form of the great Ellery Queen partnership as a member of a previous generation.

I'm not just talking about some of the appallingly insensitive stereotyping (of the physically impaired) it contains -- that was, after all, fairly typical of the era -- but of the entirely pedestrian nature of the plot, the hackneyed characterization, and the lackluster dragging out of a deus ex machina as the main prop of the mystery's solution. This second volume in the series has problems of its own, but at last Dannay and Lee (the duo comprising "Ellery Queen") seem to be finding their own voice. The plot's as far-flung and artificial as we could hope for; the solution comes right out of left field (at least so far as this reader's concerned) yet has been foreshadowed with complete fairness, all the clues being in plain view; the quips are by and large witty (although there's a ghastly moment when a buxom woman's bosom is oh so hilariously likened to a cow's udder); and the central character, deaf retired actor Drury Lane, has become so much a template for the waiting-in-the-wings sleuth Ellery Queen that at one point you can see where Dannay/Lee forgot that he was deaf and had to insert a hasty patch to explain what alerted him to a sound from behind.

York Hatter, downtrodden paterfamilias of a wealthy Manhattan brood, commits suicide by poisoning himself then jumping into the river. His survivors are as odd a lot, and as oftentimes vicious, as you could hope for; there are heavy but non-explicit hints that this is because York's unspeakably vile widow Emily naughtily contracted syphillis in her youth and has "tainted" everyone with it. The only family member not to be bonkers is Barbara; on the other hand, she's an acclaimed poet so maybe the pox got her too.

A few months after York's death, it seems someone attempts to poison his deaf, dumb and blind stepdaughter Louisa; only the fact that York's grandson Jackie stole a gulp of the laced eggnog, enough to make himself sick but no more, saved Louisa from downing the full, lethal dose. Weeks go by and it seems there'll be no solution emerging to the attempted murder, but then one night Louisa's mother, the ghastly Emily, is murdered by being hit over the head with a mandolin while, it seems, seeking to avert another attempt to poison Louisa. It's a case for blustering Inspector Thumm of the NYPD and his histrionic comrade Drury. There's a locked-room puzzle, a hidden manuscript, a case of arson -- all kinds of good stuff -- before Drury works out the solution, engineers matters so that there can be absolutely no doubt as to the murderer's guilt, and then breaks all laws to bring the tragedy to the best conclusion for all concerned.

There are two very silly digressions. In one, we spend pages with Drury and Barbara's swain Perry as Drury plans to use his own thespian skills and the genius of his makeup artist to disguise himself as Perry and thereby infiltrate the Hatter family; at the end of those pages Drury decides not to use this stratagem after all. (Perhaps one of the Queens pointed out to the other that this whole idea was nitwitted -- it'd take Barbara just one kiss to spot the impersonation -- but didn't have the gumption just to discard the section.) The other concerns another digression in response to Louisa's recollection that her mother's killer had an odd smell about him, which she can't quite identify . . . could it be cakes, ice cream, a rare orchid she sniffed years ago . . .? In fact, the odor proves to be vanilla, as Drury spends many pages ascertaining. Since much has been made of Louisa's amazingly sophisticated sense of smell, is it at all possible that vanilla wouldn't be the first scent she identified, be hanged with the orchids and stuff?

The other problem I had with the novel came at the end. As mentioned, the Queens are scrupulously fair in making sure the clues are presented openly in the narrative. In the book's latter chapters, Drury explains to Thumm and DA Bruno how those clues led him to the unequivocal identification of the killer; de rigueur for a detection of this type, of course. Yet Drury's explanations seem absolutely interminable. The clue to the killer's height, for example, requires a mere few words to become obvious; yet Drury goes through it in excruciating detail, spelling out each of the arithmetical steps involved in what's actually an unnecessarily precise calculation. Then, not satisfied with that, he uses a different arithmetical approach and goes through the whole blasted process again! (His math, alas, isn't good enough for him to realize that the two arithmetical approaches are in fact equivalent; the second calculation doesn't validate the first, just repeats it.)

But here I am, concentrating on the things I didn't like about this extremely early EQ novel when really I came away from it delighted by all its EQish aspects. Whereas, after The Tragedy of X, I turned to The Tragedy of Y with a sort of dutiful resignation, I'm now looking forward to the third and last of the Barnaby Ross novels, The Tragedy of Z, with some eagerness. ...more

Shelves: mystery

Though the story is written under the pseudonym of ''Barnaby Ross," and the detective involved is one "Drury Lane," for all intents and purposes this is an "Ellery Queen" mystery (speaking of pseudonyms!) If one can overlook Mr. Lane's somewhat bland persona, the story of the doomed Hatter family is fascinating and action-packed. Following the discovery of York Hatter's poisoned body in the ocean, disturbing and homicidal activities start cropping up, back at the Hatter family's Greenwich Villag ...more

Ellery Queen, who is, of course, Barnaby Ross, is so much a better writer than was the creator of Philo Vance, but this book is definitely in Vance's territory. And Queen, the perfect logician, doesn't manage the frisson of horror that is a feature of so many of Van Dine's books. York Hatter is a suicide, but his wealthy and tyrannical wife Emily and their children still live in their Greenwich Village mansion. His deaf-mute, blind stepdaughter Louisa is almost poisoned.

Điểm 5.5/10
Không có gì đặc sắc
Ellery Queen được rất nhiều người tôn vinh là ông vua logic nên tôi khá háo hức trước khi đọc quyển này.
Nhưng khách quan mà nói mức độ logic của cuốn này cũng chỉ ở mức bình thường, chưa kể hung thủ có phần khá gượng ép.
Là một tác phẩm trinh thám cổ điển nhưng lại không có những điểm đặc sắc riêng. Cuốn này vay mượn motif từ 2 tác phẩm hàng đầu đã xuất bản trước đó của các tác giả khác (dù chỉ một phần ở mỗi cuốn nhưng khá quan trọng).

- Thể loại: Trinh thám cổ điển, suy luận logic
- Chấm điểm: 9/10
- Nội dung: Sự ra đi của York Hatter- thành viên của gia đình nổi tiếng với toàn thành viên "điên loạn" - là mở màn cho hàng loạt vụ đầu độc diễn ra tại biệt thử của nhà Hatter tại Greenwich. Do yếu tố kì quặc của các vụ đầu độc, nghệ sĩ già về hưu Drury Lane phối hợp cùng thanh trả Thumm và công tố viên Bruno giải quyết bí mật. Manh mối duy nhất chỉ tìm được qua lời khai của người con gái vừa câm, điếc, mù của gia đình Hatter. Liệu chỉ với 2 giác quan còn lại, lời khai của cô có chính xác, và những vụ đầu độc không thành công có phải mục đích của thủ phạm hay không?
- Nhận xét:
+ Về mặt nội dung: Truyện khá dễ đoán so với Tấn bi kịch X, thủ phạm hay cách thức cũng được sử dụng trong nhiều tác phẩm trinh thám khác. Cái hay ở Tấn bi kịch Y có lẽ lại nằm ở phần miêu tả tâm lý từng nhân vật. Đặc biệt tâm lý của Drury Lane trong Y khác hẳn hình ảnh tò mò, tọc mạch tự tin ở X. Trong Y hiện lên là Drury Lane có chút ủy khuất. Chính điều này khiến cá nhân khi đọc Y thấy gần gũi hơn so với X.
+ Về bìa: Y có màu đỏ, hình ảnh trên bìa thì vẫn là hình cũ. Nhưng màu đỏ có vẻ không hợp nổi chi tiết các hình trên bìa.
+ Về mặt dịch thuật: có lẽ do đã đọc X trước nên đã quen với lối hành văn của dịch giả nên cuốn Tấn bi kịch Y dễ đọc hơn. Đồng thời một phần cũng do trong Tấn bi kịch Y không còn sự đối đầu, nghi ngờ giữa Thumm và Drury Lane nên truyện không bị quá căng.
Đánh giá chung: Đáng ra thì quyển Tấn bị kịch Y phải được điểm cao hơn X, nhưng do truyện không gây được bất ngờ về các mặt cần thiết của một cuốn truyện trinh thám nên đành cho thấp hơn X 0.5 điểm vậy. ...more

Wonderful addition to a great series. Ellery Queen is totally the best. I figured out who did it fairly early on and then in true Queen fashion I wandered off track thinking it couldn't be. But then it was exactly who I thought it was....just not the reason why I thought it was. Ellery Queen aka Barnaby Ross, takes their readers into the story with a feeling that you are there with Drury Lane, the protagonist.

I was appalled by the outmoded and horrible medical diagnoses used in the 1930's. The central figures were an extremely dysfunctional family. I'm not sure that they deserved what happened. I was saddened by the identity of the killer, but pleased that the ones I had suspected were innocent.

Bi kịch Y được viết mượt mà hơn X, đọc dễ dàng hơn rất nhiều. Vụ án vẫn thu hút, nhưng thay vì một loạt các vụ án như X thì ở Y là một loạt các bí ẩn, tưởng như liên quan nhưng lại không tìm thấy đường dây kết nối nào cả. Cuốn sách đã có thể rất shock, rất choáng ngợp nếu như tác giả không fairplay quá mức, tung ra một gợi ý quá quan trọng khiến ai cũng đoán ra được hung thủ.

The most famous novel in the Drury Lane series and one of the best from Ellery Queen. A series of crimes without apparent motive, left several long winded false trails and a exceptional deaf-blind witness is the only lead to this ingenious criminal. The ending is shocking and unpredictable. The deduction steps explained by Drury Lane was amazing. I think all the clues were given in the book and obviously extremely difficult to work out the clues among a lot of red herrings.

The Hatters are not just mad...but they are thoroughly nasty people. The family is ruled by the imperious Emily Hatter--a woman who sowed plenty of wild oats before marrying poor York Hatter. York had been a brilliant scientist before Emily got him in her clutches--sucking the life out of him and making him bend to her every whim. She rules the rest of the household--three grown children, one daughter-in-law, two grandsons, a cook, a maid, and nurse--with an iron fist. The only one she seems to have any feeling for is her fourth child--a young woman born with certain disabilities and who has acquired more. Louisa is deaf, blind, and mute.

The old lady's preference for Louisa only ensures that the woman will be hated by the rest of the family. And it isn't long before the family's madness and vicious streak takes hold. York is the first to go--drowned at sea and an apparent suicide. What follows is a rash of poisonings...all attempts to get rid of Louisa...and then, finally, murder when Emily is killed with the oddest of weapons--York's mandolin. The police are baffled and call in Drury Lane to help them get to the bottom of the mystery. There are clues and false clues and the first thing that must be determined is who was the real target? Were the attempts on Louisa genuine and the old lady killed to prevent the murderer from being caught too soon? Or will someone be wiping out as many of the Hatters as they can? Lane discovers that there is a detailed plan being followed...but whose plan is it? And why are there references to York Hatter when the man was the first to die?

I am enjoying these mysteries featuring Drury Lane very much. The plots are nice and intricate and there are plenty of clues to be had. For a fair amount of the book it looks like a dead man may be responsible and the explanation of the plot is very pretty indeed (in the short form). My one complaint has to do with Lane's methods--he plays that brilliant amateur keeping clues from the police role just a little too well. There are real dangers in his secrecy. The other problem with Lane is his tendency to drag out his wrap-up. An explanation that should take--at most--four or five pages goes on for almost twenty. Another three and 3/4 star adventure.

One sentence. That one sentence. That one sentence was able to explain the complicated mystery that has happened. There are very few mystery novels that are able to explain its mystery only by one simple sentence. The Tragedy of Y managed to pull it off. Perfectly IMO.
