The Three Students

De: Ellery Queen

Narrado por: Traber Burns

Previously part of a collection, this rare Ellery Queen mystery is available as a standalone audiobook for the first time.

In "The Three Students", Ellery is challenged to solve an imaginary riddle devised by three members of the Puzzle Club. He must decide which of the titular trio (handily named Adams, Barnes, and Carver) stole a valuable ring from a university president's desk.

Timing muffins

Cute little story, I thought at first that there was an error in the time stated. But it was great for timing the muffins I was cooking for tomorrow 's breakfast.

Short but sweet. Clever solution to the mystery. Pity review takes longer to think of fiveteen words than story does to tell

Tough trivia question imbedded in a mystery

I like this format. Spoiler alert .... don’t read further if you want to solve this as is....if you want a further clue which will probably not help either, it follows.... I’m trying to take up some space so you don’t accidentally see the clue if you don’t want to.... possibly a SPOILER....if you don’t know this pretty quickly then you won’t because it is not a deduction and not just a guess...there’s a verse in the story and my clue is simply an alternate verse which could also have been used: oh oh oh, to touch and feel very green vegetables, ah heaven.

Another Quick Puzzler

Like “The Odd Man” and “The Honest Swindler”, this is another session with the Puzzle Club, a group that includes everyone from plutocrats to poets. Even when, as in this case, the solution revolves around a piece of rather arcane knowledge, the short excursion still amuses. And Taber Burns never disappoints.
