The Finishing Stroke is a layered and atmospheric Ellery Queen mystery that weaves together two timelines—1930 and 1957. Set partly during a lavish Christmas celebration at a snowbound country house, the novel presents a baffling series of holiday-themed murders. Years later, Ellery Queen reexamines the unsolved case, uncovering chilling secrets long buried beneath festive cheer. Known for its elaborate structure and literary puzzles, the novel plays with symbolism, riddles, and typographic clues, showcasing Queen’s most ambitious storytelling. It’s a cerebral, stylized mystery that both honors and deconstructs the classic whodunit form.
