With the aid of an ingenious setting--the murder of a belligerent newspaper publisher--four famed members of the Detection Club trade characters to make fit fare for post-graduate mystery readers.

THE ALBUM--Mary Roberts Rinehart --Farrar & Rinehart ($2). Murder in a sequestered group--and a prying spinster finds romance while solving the crime.

THE WORLD'S FAIR MURDERS--John Ashenhurst--Houghton Mifflin ($2). By a trick of legerdemain, a man murders in view of 10,000 witnesses. A smart young reporter discovers how it was done, and by whom; scores a scoop.
