Ellery Queen: A Website on Deduction
Kurt Sercu's site is the most comprehensive gathering of information, facts, and trivia about Ellery Queen to be found on the internet. And his research sheds new light into some questions that have puzzled fans for years. You will learn about EQ comics, games, and even jigsaw puzzles. Plus he has episode logs for the many radio and television versions of Ellery Queen. Everything you ever wanted to know about the EQ universe. Mr Sercu's collection of book cover scans is the most comprehensive we have seen, and we thank him for allowing us to borrow some of them to spice up our own listings.
Ellery Queen: The TV Series Companion
Lora Ruffner's elegant website was devoted to the Jim Hutton series and loaded with screenshots, articles, background, and plenty of love for the best filmed representation ever of Ellery Queen. Off-line for years some of the content has reappeared in a simple one-page format, but there is much that is not included. An archived version of the original site is considerably more extensive but often sluggish.Guide to Classic Mystery and Detection
Michael E Grost's exhaustive online survey of mystery fiction includes a lengthy section dedicated to Ellery Queen. Grost has an encyclopedic knowledge of the genre, and his analysis of the Queen stories, the traditions they draw on, and their impact on other writers, is carefully thought out and invariably fascinating.Ellery Queen, Master Detective
Frank Daniels has assembled quite a bit of EQ-related information, with an especially detailed examination of the Ellery Queen comics. Navigation is a bit inelegant, but the content is worthwhile (as in his explication of the Barnaby Ross historical paperbacks).Ellery Queen, Forgotten Master Detective
This is a 1988 thesis by Cathy Akers-Jordan of the University of Michigan (Flint). Her extensive analysis of the themes and techniques that reappear through the EQ works is astute. Some of these discussions include spoilers that should be avoided if necessary. There are a few minor factual errors (e.g. claiming none of the Columbia films was based on an EQ novel).
Ellery Queen: The Art of Detection
Francis M Nevins is the foremost scholarly writer on Ellery Queen, and this revised, extended, and updated rewrite of Royal Bloodline is an essential for any EQ fan. Everything that made the earlier book required reading is retained, along with tons of new information and insights. He even takes a closer look at the paperback originals. Our opinions coincide on some titles, but on others they definitely do not. His informed, well-reasoned critiques lend spice to this ultimate encyclopedia of Ellery Queen.

Royal Bloodline: Ellery Queen, Author and Detective
This Edgar award winning study of the Queen books and the authors who wrote them stands as an important documentation, though it has been surpassed by Nevins’s Art of Detection. The book is full of spoilers; you may want to put it aside until you have savored the complete Queen canon. Our thanks to Professor Nevins for his assistance in EQ research.Bowling Green University Popular Press, 1974
