About this listen

Gloria Guild is the singing "glory" of the thirties and the millionairess wife of Count Carlos Armando, renowned only for his succession of wealthy wives. When she is murdered, her husband is the obvious suspect, but he has a perfect alibi. So who could he have got to do it for him? The only clue is the word "face," penned in her dying scrawl. But whose face? And why? Ellery Queen pursues the glory riddle from the Bowery to a way-out wedding - and a surprise climax that will jolt you into cold shock. Anyone whonails this killer before Queen is either a genius or a cheat.

Another great Ellery Queen story. The story is a time capsule of the time it was written. Having been written in the 60’s much of the pop culture is alluded to within its pages. As such it is a little grimier, a little less polished with much shabbier characters and a much more tarnished New York. The stories written during the 30’s and 40’s have much more panache, better dialogue and much more descriptive language, seems it is easy to pinpoint the time in our history when modern story telling really started to take a nose dive. The narrator is great and this story, though more cubic zirconia than diamond, is well worth a listen.

A story that captures the time in which it was written
