Description
When Cock Robin is found dead with an arrow through his chest, New York's DA calls in amateur detective and professional flaneur Philo Vance to solve the case. Vance quickly establishes the reference in the staging of the murder to a nursery rhyme line, a pattern that is soon borne out by a succession of stranger and even more perverse murders.
After each murder, the perpetrator sends a note to the press, signed simply 'The Bishop.' Vance must move quickly to stop the Bishop's tyrannous and bloody campaign of death raging through the upper echelons of New York society.
Set against the backdrop of Jazz Age Manhattan with a distinctive and erudite detective, The Bishop Murder Case is considered one of the great classic detective stories.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Bishop Murder Case is praised for its gentlemanly and scholarly detective Philo Vance, embodying the spirit of the Jazz Age. Reviews highlight the well-crafted and captivating nature of S. S. Van Dine's writing, though Vance is seen by some as overly highbrow or even asinine.

About the Author
S.S. VAN DINE was the pseudonym of Willard Huntington Wright (1888 - 1939), a US art critic and prolific author. After a long illness, he started writing detective fiction, creating the wildly popular detective Philo Vance whose obscure cultural references and knowledge of aesthetic arts helped him solve many complicated puzzle plots.
