Fourth of the Philo Vance Series
The Bishop Murder case is the fourth novel by S. S. Van Dine (pseudnym of Willard Huntington Wright)featuring his amateur detective Philo Vance. Philo Vance was constructed in the mode of British fictional detectives of the period such as Sayer's Lord Peter Wimsey who had made his appearance in 1926 in Whose Body?. Vance was a wealthy dilettante and aesthetic who was portrayed as a dandy and bon vivant. The books were narrated by Van Dine who took the position of the Watson figure. His admiration for Vance was based on the fact that Vance excelled at any lofty, upper class thing he attempted. In short, Vance is a bit of an insufferable bore with a heavy smoking habit. However, there is an entertaining, campy quality about the stories and The Bishop Murder case is generally ... The Bishop Murder case is the fourth novel by S. S. Van Dine (pseudnym of Willard Huntington Wright)featuring his amateur detective Philo Vance. Philo Vance was constructed in the mode of British fictional detectives of the period such as Sayer's Lord Peter Wimsey who had made his appearance in 1926 in Whose Body?. Vance was a wealthy dilettante and aesthetic who was portrayed as a dandy and bon vivant. The books were narrated by Van Dine who took the position of the Watson figure. His admiration for Vance was based on the fact that Vance excelled at any lofty, upper class thing he attempted. In short, Vance is a bit of an insufferable bore with a heavy smoking habit. However, there is an entertaining, campy quality about the stories and The Bishop Murder case is generally acknowledged as one of the better of the Vance stories. It is constructed around a number of Mother Goose rhymes where, for instance, a character named Christopher Robbin is found pierced by an arrow as in "Who Killed Cock Robin". Frankly, if you don't already have a soft spot for Vance or don't want to read one of the seminal works of the Mystery Genre then you might well find this book a bit heavy going. However, if you are prepared to suspend *a lot!* of disbelief and just going along for the campy ride then you might find yourself enjoying The Bishop Murder Case.

Unearthing a Detective Gem. Van Dine needs to be Rediscovered.
One cannot write a review of any of Willard Huntington Wright's (AKA S. S. Van Dine) novels without giving away the intricate plot. The storyline is intricate and well thought out. The characters are well developed. Wright's grammar is perfect but it is not stilted in any way. Be prepared with a dictionary and some paper to write definitions on as you will indeed to increase your vocabulary if you so desire. Philo Vance is the American Lord Peter Whimsy, but where Lord Peter is exuberant and lively, Vance is reserved and laconic. Both are extremely witty and well read. Vance makes numerous references to Shakespeare, poetry, art, and history to make his points. He speaks French, German, Spanish, and Latin. You will be amazed at the plot. He has written twelve novels and each is extremely ... One cannot write a review of any of Willard Huntington Wright's (AKA S. S. Van Dine) novels without giving away the intricate plot.

Be prepared with a dictionary and some paper to write definitions on as you will indeed to increase your vocabulary if you so desire.

Vance makes numerous references to Shakespeare, poetry, art, and history to make his points. He speaks French, German, Spanish, and Latin. You will be amazed at the plot. He has written twelve novels and each is extremely entertaining. Wright believes that the reader should have access to the same clues Philo Vance has so that he can solve the mystery too. Every novel takes place in 1920-30s New York City. It is a wonderful history of New York and if you are familiar with the city, you will love reading these novels. Van Dine inserts himself into the novel as a character which is unique. He is Philo Vance's Dr. Watson. Begin with The Benson Murder Case and read them in chronological order. If you love Dorothy Sayers, you will love Willard Wright. Seventeen movies were made from his novels. His first novel was published in 1926. Wright's Philo Vance is the precursor to Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade and Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe. You will get caught up in the plot before you know it and won't be able to put it down.
