Philo Vance unravels rhymes in a deadly key. Without question one of Van Dine's finest achievements. . . his construction of plot is really quite superb (Tipping My Fedora). After solving the Greene murders, Philo Vance has taken a well-earned holiday in Switzerland. Returning to New York City he finds his old chum, District Attorney Anthony Markham, up against a bizarre series of murders inspired by children's nursery rhymes. The first murder, involving a beautiful young woman and a private archery range, was apparently based on Who Killed Cock Robin?; it is followed by more hideous deaths referencing Mother Goose. But Philo Vance is not a man to be fobbed off with points to juvenilia. Markham and his colleagues may be worried that a certain Mr. H. Dumpty is riding for a great fall, but Philo Vance suspects a connection to a rather more sophisticated writer. In this classic detective novel . . . a splendid example of the form . . . the game [is] played full out and to splendid effect (Mystery File).Praise for the Philo Vance series With his highbrow manner and his parade of encyclopedic learning, Philo Vance is not only a detective; he is a god out of the machine. -The New York Times The Philo Vance novels were well-crafted puzzlers that captivated readers . . . the works of S.S. Van Dine serve to transport the reader back to a long-gone era of society and style of writing. -Mystery Scene Outrageous cleverness . . . among the finest fruits of the Golden Age. -Bloody Murder
