33. Cop Out by Ellery Queen

Here’s another late (1968) “faux” Ellery Queen mystery. It’s a straightforward crime novel. Three robbers hole up in a cop’s house after pulling a job, keeping the cop, his wife, and kid hostage. It’s like The Desperate Hours, only with some twists and turns. Entertaining.

Revised totals: 49/95 (51%) EQ books owned, 27/95 (28%) read.

This leads me to want to create a page that would let you update which books you own and have read, and which would create graphics to track it for you as you update things.

But I won't. I have far too many other things to do.

But you could do it if you want. A bit of CGI programming and a page or two on your website, and you're good to go. Smile

Jeff:

If you have the time, I would LOVE to have this for my records!

I already set up a spreadsheet so that I can keep track of things. Could this be made into what you describe? (note: there is a column at the end which reveals the killer's identity of each book.)
