Double, Double (also published as The Case of the Seven Murders) is a

mystery novel
set in the imaginary New England town of Wrightsville, US.

Plot summary

Ellery Queen investigates a series of murders that seem to be related by an

old rhyme
: "Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, ...."

Literary significance and criticism

"The last full-fledged Wrightsville novel is as usual strong on characterizations. But some of the deductions made from the clues seem more speculative than logical."[1]
