Das Geheimnis des gelben Zimmers: Le Mystre de la chambre jaune | 
pickI tried a murder mystery which was not written by Christie or Doyle and enjoyed it very much. I liked the idea of the locked room murder und how cheeky journalist Rouletabille tries to solve the case. There are funny scenes as well, e.g. when Rouletabille climbs a tree to eavesdrop and finds the investigating inspector already in the tree. 🤪 And halfway through the book I realized the author did write The Phantom of the Opera. 🙈
Ruthiella This is one of the classic mysteries that is on my list. 1mo
Bookwomble The Rouletabille novels are good fun. I've only found three of them in English translation, and there are five more that I really wish somebody would have a go at! 1mo
MariaW @Ruthiella It has been on my list for a long time as well. I definitely enjoyed it. 😊 1mo
MariaW @Bookwomble There only three in German as well, only two available as ebbok and the third can only be ordered as used paperback - but a zillion different version of The Phantom of the Opera. We have to learn French now, I guess. 🤣 1mo
Bookwomble @MariaW Zut alors!! More work to do! 😄 1mo
