The Mystery of the Yellow Room
Gaston Leroux
Book Overview:
Gaston Leroux, perhaps best known as the author of The Phantom of the Opera in its novel form, was also the author of a popular series of mystery novels. This crime novel was possibly the first to involve a 'locked room mystery', in which an attempted murder takes place, but with no obvious way for the perpetrator to have escaped.

Αρκετά παλαϊκό στο στυλ, ήταν ενδιαφέρον όμως. Σίγουρα όχι από τα πιο αγαπημένα μου αστυνομικά μυθιστορήματα, ειδικά προς το τέλος με την "καλή" και την "κακή" πλευρά της σκέψης βαρέθηκα και κουράστηκα.
