Reader comments
Although given five stars, this book can only be considered mediocre among the works of Queen Brothers.
The logic is still rigorous, and the reasoning process is still the same. As for the storyline, it's a matter of opinion...
The murderer is not difficult to guess! This is a rare opportunity to defeat Ellery Queen head-on! Rush!
When I guessed the murderer, I felt that this book was indeed incomparable to "The Tragedy of But after reading it and thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was biased.
It can be said that this book is as groundbreaking as "The Mystery of the Greek Coffin" (because it is suspected of being a spoiler, it is not stated what it pioneered), and later generations and even mystery novelists of the same generation have learned from it (including Grandma's mystery novels). And this is just my personal opinion. Some elements of this book may also be called the origin of socialist mystery novels.
The tragedy of Y is not only the tragedy of that family, but also the tragedy of someone, and even the tragedy of society...
I originally planned to read other stories, but if I didn't have to rely on a few episodes to cheer me up every day, and this episode of Criminal Minds happened to mention family, I wouldn't have chosen this book to watch in the afternoon, when I was choosing a book.
The tragedy of Y?
The name makes people think of chromosomes.
It wasn't until I discovered that the person who committed suicide at the beginning was the author, and he was the murderer in the story, that I understood why the title of the book was The Tragedy of Y.
I guessed, I guessed that York was not dead at all, I guessed that Martha couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to kill them, I guessed that Louise was faking it, in fact she wasn't that bad, I guessed and guessed, and I guessed that Jill didn't expect the juvenile delinquents either.
In fact, it shouldn't be like this. Maybe it's because that episode of Criminal Minds didn't mention juvenile delinquents. Even if there were juvenile delinquents, they still appeared as relatively soft-hearted characters. Maybe this is just me making excuses.
Indeed, it seems that I have to practice more and train my brain. After all, there are all kinds of wonders in the world. Art comes from life, and anything can appear in stories. However, the same is true in life, and the answer is not unique.
I am not limited to a certain framework. The only thing I can do is to try to broaden my horizons.
Recently I have a few favorite authors, and I want to study them, read their books, and make my world more magical and rich.
The story is very exciting, but some parts always feel incomplete and logical. Therefore, although the public rating is very high, I don't want to give it five stars. Maybe this is very stubborn, not very tasteful, does not have a herd mentality, and I don't really think this book deserves five stars.
But I think I should read the other tragedies of X and Z. After all, I am exploring my own preferences, and my previous fear of too many words was cured yesterday when I read "The Stormy Road to Harvard".
That's all.
The plot of this book is so exciting! I really like the detective Jerry Lane in the book. I admire his calmness and wisdom very much. This book reminds me of the time I spent wasting my time studying. If I could be as smart as Ren, I might be able to avoid many detours. The portrayal of human nature in the book is also very real. Some people appear normal on the surface, but are full of greed and evil in their hearts. I think this book is not only a mystery novel, but also a profound discussion of human nature.
I can feel Mr. Lane's tenderness and desperation. He is using his own way to protect everyone who is poor and kept in the dark.
I feel like a lot of it involves spoilers, so I won't comment too much. It's a crime type that I like very much, and the process of solving the puzzle is also very interesting. I personally think that there are many interpretations of Y [exploration]
It's a pity that I saw the strange house in advance, and I guessed it right before the murderer was revealed🤧
It's okay, I haven't read a mystery novel for a long time, but the truth is still quite shocking, and I can't completely agree with Mr. Lane's final view on this case.
A different kind of murderer, the detective ran away overnight [face covering]
I feel like the other ending mentioned on the Internet is more convincing to me.
The psychological reasoning in the answer part is very exciting, but what surprised me even more was the sanctions imposed by him after he glimpsed the evil after the synopsis of the story.
Very logical and very beautiful.
"The Tragedy of Y", first published in 1932. It's original, the truth is eye-catching, and Wren's approach is also thought-provoking.
A very unique mystery novel with a story outline hahaha
I think this book is of high quality in terms of intrigue, logical reasoning and social thinking. It is also the most skillfully integrated of all the mystery novels I have read.
Logical aesthetics, I like it
Wonderful work, rigorous reasoning
It's quite similar to Agatha's Curtain.
Overall it's good, but I personally feel that Rennes is a bit unpleasant.
Very high IQ, I don't mean Wren
I think the final ending is really satisfying
Y is also good, but I like X more. I like strict logical reasoning novels too much [Send Heart]
The plot is pretty good, but it always feels a bit stiff. Overall, it's a good book.
