A proposito di questo titolo

The final novel by the legendary Ellery Queen, A Fine and Private Place ranks with Queen's incomparable best.

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 wascamouflaging 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!

Narrator really should make an effort to check The pronounciation of foreign words (some were wrong in the text to begin with). The premise is ominous enough, but the case is needlessly long and convoluted, even boring, when the culprit is painfully obvious from the start. It has a bit of the early EQ (his writing, his moodiness, even him making a fool of himself) and a bit of the later EQ (a more nuanced relationship with his dad, although not as much as in previous books, more attention on scenes not featuring Ellery), and that is pretty apt for a last book in a series. It’s just not the best mystery.

Not great
