Plot summary

Ellery Queen investigates a series of murders that seem to be related by an old rhyme: "Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, ...."

Literary significance and criticism

"The last full-fledged Wrightsville novel is as usual strong on characterizations. But some of the deductions made from the clues seem more speculative than logical."[1]

Footnotes

gollark: Infinite scroll is an optional RES thing on there.
gollark: Old reddit doesn't have it and is superior.
gollark: I don't use infinite scroll because I would become trapped too easily.
gollark: I just block *all* ads on reddit, because I do not think they deserve the tiny amount of money they'd get.
