A review by johnnyb1954
The Roman Hat Mystery by Ellery Queen
3.0
It’s interesting to see how different Ellery Queen #1 is from later books.
Ellery is much more like Sherlock Holmes, but some of his deductive reasoning is a real stretch.
There are several long and tedious explanations of the logic applied.
The reason that the hat becomes important and the full set of facts around that seem really unlikely.
There are some aspects of this book written in 1928 are objectionable now.
