The Mystery of the Yellow Room

Even if Hercule Poirot had been born French, not Belgian, he would have had to take second place in discovering Joseph Roulettebil, a brilliant young train created by Gaston Leroux. Here, in his first and most embarrassing case, an eighteen-year-old reporter amazes readers with his courage and creativity. Who would try to kill Mademoiselle Stangerson, the beautiful daughter of a famous radium scientist? And how could they get into a completely locked and observant room and escape? As the dockers compete against him, Rolletabillet is determined to prove that only he can solve the case. This classic work of the French detective was very fond of Agatha Christie. As a detective history expert, he said this was one of the best. Others will praise it even more.
