I knew I had read this before, that’s an awful thing to think when you are partway through a mystery novel. I vaguely knew who had done it and why, but I finished the novel anyway. The Queen’s writing style can get a bit descriptive to a point where it seems that this story originally is a short-story. More deaths were added, and a creative trip to Europe were used to stretch it out.

Book description
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345246039, Paperback)

The cat had 9 kills. The silent rush of footsteps, the muffled shriek, the ever tightening noose of exotic silk, the mark of the Cat. The Cat had claimed number nine. Ellery found number 10 alive and offered the victim temptingly to the killer. The trap was baited and Ellery and the police poised for the strike that never came. But the strangler struck elsewhere.
