Description
John Lovering Benedict had more than most men - more money, more mansions, more cars, but most of all more women, including three ex-wives with little in common but their extraordinary physiques. For Ellery Queen the question was which one of them had bashed in Benedict's skull with a hunk of iron statuary? The clues were many…but puzzling. All had been planted at the scene of the crime, but by whom, and for what purpose? And who was the last woman in John Benedict's life?

Tsk tsk
I brought a ton of Ellery Queen books and this was one I didn’t read because of one of the two reviews here on Audible. I now see what the reviewer was talking about I have to say I’m surprised that this is the only reviewer that has stated something in regards to the prejudices that are written into the books.
I don’t know when and I didn’t check when this book was released or based from, i assume somewhere in the 70s or 80s. However, it’s clear there is no research done on the gay community when it comes to the writing of this book. there are just words from the community that are thrown out there without any knowledge of what it actually means, And therefore they are used interchangeably, without having any idea if that’s the right definition of the person.
I will have to say that out of all the books I’ve read (some are very long-winded) this was one of the shorter books, but it was also one of the weakest books. I don’t quite understand why the ending was the way it was sorry for ruining it for everyone else but if he’s dying and he’s trying to say who killed him, why the extensive thought??
he calls Ellery and the word sounds like home. At the end, ellery sum mises the dying man was trying to say homosexual as he couldn’t use the word Al, Aubrey, Marsh, man, lawyer or attorney all because it might be misheard and point to someone else that may sound similar to that word. What? that makes absolutely no sense.

Hate Literature Against Queers
This book turns out to be hate speech (/writing) against queer people. (The fact that this book was originally published in 1970 does not excuse it; hate was and is hate.) It states as truth many hateful lies about gay men, transsexuals, and lesbians. One such lie is that homosexuality is caused by an early childhood of being forced to live as a stereotype of the sex opposite to one’s apparent biological sex. (E.g., an outwardly biological female being forced to live her early childhood as the epitome of a stereotypical male child.) Another hateful lie perpetuated by this book is that homosexual persons want to have a different gender than the (apparent) one of their birth, and thus homosexuals, when allowed to show their true selves, act according to that desire, e.g. that lesbians want to be men, so act as stereotypical men when it is safe to do so. In addition, this book repeats the lie that a transvestite and a homosexual and a transsexual are the same thing — in reality, they are most definitely three separate types of humans. Yet one more hateful lie in this book equals that a transsexual is someone who wants to be of a different gender than the one that their outward body presents. The TRUTH is that a transsexual IS of a different gender than the one their outward body presents. Oh, and this book calls famous bisexuals of the past (such as Alexander The Great) homosexual men, lumping them in with famous homosexual men of the past. Finally, this book perpetuates the hateful lie that queers are NOT “normal”, that they are deviants.

Excellent
I really liked this and thought the touchy situation was handled very diplomatically I’m sure you will enjoy it.
A great mystery
