5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars Cozy Mystery Magazine
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020
Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine gets five stars from me! Why? It is a wonderful, easy read from old school writers to new age. I love the mix of mystery, mayhem and page turning excitement. My favorite is reading this magazine with a hot cup of tea first thing in the morning and last thing I do before I retire. I am always pleasantly amazed with the variety of writers that mystify me. This is absolutely the best magazine I've every had the pleasure of reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Howling at the Moon
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2014
I am sorry to admit I only purchased the November issue when I heard my favorite author had a short story in this magazine. I did read Paul D. Marks, 'Howling at the Moon' and was not disappointed. I can see why a popular magazine would choose to have Mr. Marks write a short story for their magazine, I just don't understand why he isn't a regular? I would be a subscriber if that were the case.
Once again, Mr. Marks did not let me down with his amazing writing skills and nail biting suspense. I couldn't put my Kindle down! It's typical, once I start, I have to know the end of his short stories.
Mr. Marks puts a different spin on your typical American Indian in the desert stories and takes you for a short trip on the twisted side of treasure hunting on sacred grounds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Far more consistent than the sister publication
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2012
I read both Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock magazines, and I greatly prefer the former. Consistently strong entries from Clark Howard, Doug Allyn, and other short story powerhouses really make this magazine a pleasure. I travel for business, and short stories are a perfect entertainment - well-written enough to really hold my interest, but short enough to complete during the shorter periods of time I have available for reading. And, I particularly love that this publication is now available for the Kindle. Fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some advantages and disadvantages compared to print edition
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2017
I have subscribed to the print edition for 20+ years. With the digital edition, it reduces the clutter in my house and the Kindle app makes it easy to sync across multiple devices so the magazine is available to read anytime and anywhere and unlike the print edition it doesn't occasionally get lost by the Post Office. The digital edition is less the $1 more expensive per year than the print edition and the order of the stories is not exactly the same since the Black Mask, Dept of First Stories, and Passport to Crime are separate sections instead of having those stories mixed in with all the other stories. The advantage of the print edition is that if it gets lost or left behind; or you are in an envirionment where liquids can easily spill on your electronic devices you are out less money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Ellery
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2014
I may not be proud of all the habits I picked up half a century ago, or longer, but decade by decade I enjoy my Ellery Queen habit. I started when my work caused me to spend a lot of time on trains and planes. EQ was pleasant to read and easy to carry. Now that it has expanded from print to Kindle it is still pleasant and easy.

3.0 out of 5 stars enjoying short stories for a quiet time
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2020
I did enjoy the Ellery Queen magazine it was one fun read with lots of short stories. Only thing I didn't like was there wasn't to many mystries based stories. For the most part they where cute, fun and a good read. Some stories could have been shorter or not a all and some could have been long. It is a good thing to have for a quick reading while you wait some where or at night when You just want a quiet read. Good to see it again like a old friend, good to see again and spend some time with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Subscriber for decades
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2019
This is a fascinating magazine with a total variety of mystery stories, covering many styles of writing. Often, the editors even find humorous stories to include. The stories span eras from early Greece to modern times, and areas all around the world, including some translations. Very entertaining. I have been a devoted reader, either as a subscriber or newsstand buyer since I had a dime or two available to spend.

1.0 out of 5 stars not the format I was expecting. unreadable.
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020
The 'magazine' was a facsimile and so difficult to read that I gave up on it and will cancel the trial subscription. Too bad, because I enjoyed the content back in the day.
