Typical Ellery Queen mystery with its wonderful use of English, convoluted plot, and interesting characters. Grouchy, shapr tongued harridan Cornelia Potts has a henpecked husband, six miserable children and a penchant for the macabre. While ellery queen is a guest for dinner murder occurs and he must solve the mystery.
