Back to Delphi's Maurice LeBlanc omnibus, reading 813 at the moment. The story is interesting, if convoluted, but almost every single piece of dialog ends with an ellipsis. It's presumably intended to convey the idea of interrupted, incomplete conversations, but the visual effect of dozens of them on every page is almost excruciating. I'm actually skim reading as fast as I can hoping that the next story in the collection is not similarly afflicted
