Frightfully rich and awesomely respectable, the McKells had never been touched by scandal. At least, not until the handsome Dane McKell discovered his father's secret affair. Determined to protect his mother, he forced a meeting with the other woman.
But Dane didn't count on falling in love with her himself. Nor did he count on the front page murder that engulfed them all. Sheila, exotic young international leader of haute couture, is found murdered in her Park Avenue penthouse.

Story
The nine-word clue was one of nine cryptic notes that had been sent to taunt Inspector Queen and his son Ellery nine days after the murder. Nino Importuna had been obsessed with the number. He had lived by it. Now the killer who brought a trio of gory deaths to Nino's ninth-floor penthouse at Number 99 East was camouflaging his identity in a jungle of nines - and daring Ellery to find him. The case was destined to be a dazzling contest of wits - to the ninth degree!

All arrived at the isolated Brass mansion, lured by the tantalizing promise of fabulous wealth.

A fun, light read with a few twists. Although I came to the solution early, some of the twists made me rethink my assertions. Worth the listen.

Twisty
The Ellery Queen series starts with “innocent” murders if one can call murder innocent. It’s an anthology of the moral fiber of America. From a time where women are chaperoned to a time when they are preyed upon by men an then finally to women murders.
It’s a story that I could not stop listening to. I had an idea of who were the criminals but I could not figure out the logistics. The skilled author purposely allowed the reader to see the murderers but skillfully withheld the ability for the reader to be confident of the identity of the murderers until the last chapter.
To make a comparison, it’s like a bag of potato chips. I had to keep munching till the bag was empty!

Dated, disturbing language
I was surprised at how disturbing some of the dated language was. Examples are the descriptions of women, eg "a nubile 16 year old", "he grabbed her like a rapist" for a love scene, and "busty child blonde". Overall, the dialog is pretty corny and the characters were not realistic. Very glad I didn't pay for this.

Not my cup of tea
I used to like the show years ago. I watched a few episodes on Youtube. I'm a big Murder She Wrote and Bones fan, both the shows and the books. I thought I'd give Ellery Queen a try. I just didn't really care for the two main people, so I didn't particularly enjoy it. And if I heard about bewbs one more time - jeeze they had a fixation on that. I guess the reveal was okay. It was both expected and unexpected. I don't plan on reading anymore of the series.

Accents
Pretty good but the narrator needs to work on his Scottish and English accents. The plot was OK but lacked a bit of pace and tension at the end.
