A good mystery is a terrific thing. A great one, even better. The Adventures of Ellery Queen is one of the most faithful, most authentic, and most challenging mystery series ever created for television. The mysteries are fair, with clues revealed honestly along the way, so the audience can “play along” and reward themselves for their shrewd deductive skills, or learn what they should have been paying attention to if clues are missed. Mix in terrific characterizations, a wonderful period setting, and clever writing and production, and you have a series worth seeking out. Later this year, treat yourself, and find a copy of Ellery Queen on DVD. I’ve seen these wonderful mysteries, and I know who did it… will you?
