This novel - the classic French detective story - was written in 1907 by Gaston Leroux, once a reporter who covered the famous trials of his time. (He also wrote THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.) Match your wits with his rival detectives - one amateur, one professional - as they try to crack the mystery. Mademoiselle Stangerson retires to bed in the Yellow Room. Suddenly revolver shots echo through the house and she screams for help. Her father and a servant run to the locked room where they find the wounded girl - alone. The only other exit, a window - barred. How had the assailant escaped?

Opinions of ``Yellow Room´´

I read the book when I was 10 (seven years ago ;) ) and I like it very much. Initially, the book was boring for me, but after reading forty or fity pages, I liked the story because it was very misterious. I think the ending is perfect and I recommend the book :yawnb: I think Agatha Christie wrote a similar story, but, logically, with a diferent ending.
