The Mystery of the Egyptian Cross
by I
About This Novel
The masterpiece of Ellery Queen, the master of mystery novels and the American "King of Detective Novels" highly respected by Hitchcock, Stephen King, and Shoji Shimada! A Hollywood-style crime-hunting blockbuster, Detective Quinn's most bizarre adventure! A classic work of character reasoning as famous as "The Mystery of the Greek Coffin", "The Tragedy of X" and "The Tragedy of Y". Global cumulative sales exceed 200 million. On the morning of Christmas, a headless massacre broke the tranquility of the small town of Arroyo. One stone stirred up thousands of waves, the trumpet of death sounded, four horrific and bloody murders, four T-shaped corpses, and the T-shaped mark left at the scene, involving a primitive and fanatical desire for revenge. What does T stand for? Is it a symbol of ancient Egyptian religion? Is it the mark of the Avengers killing people? Or... A murder-hunting battle across the entire United States is about to begin!

During the process of solving the case, I always thought that there was a "Crossac", but when the truth came out, I realized that the murderer was in the case, right next to me. When I first saw the title of the book, I thought it was a mystery about the cross, but after reading the whole book, I found that it has nothing to do with the cross.
Yeah, it's quite pretty.
. . . . . .
Not bad.
Besides, what we are reading now is not the foreign language version, but the Chinese version.
Why not get in touch with foreign masterpieces? Why should we care about things that are different from us?
It's really troublesome to go to a chapter just for one name.
There are differences between China and foreign countries, you can look at the different styles
Read Quine's novels in order. The Greek Coffin was purely blind and deceived the murderer; but this one couldn't be more clear! I have read a lot of foreign mystery novels, and some people say that the names are difficult to remember. Indeed, if there is a list of characters, just compare them repeatedly. You will get used to it if you read them too much!
Why was Fan the last murderer?
