A CASE IN CAMERA. BY oliver
Onions The Macmillan Company.

Onions The Macmillan Company
This book is said. to be best
seliS in England at the present time.
For a mystery story--as the book in
question is-to win to such popularity
there. must be more than the ordinary
virtues of the kind. Novelty in plot,
the last word in situation and a leis-
urely, skilful narrator are probably at
the bottom of this popularity. There
is none Of the patent disregard for
even primitive literary values that is
to be found in American mystery
stories; the author has time to make
his characters more than marionettes.
The opening situation is unique:
one May morning in 1919 an airplane
above Chelsea does a tailspin, and its
two occupants come down in para
chutes to the roof of a house where
are gathered a few people. One of
the men is killed, the other severely
injured. But there has been a re-
volver fired: a mysterious bullet is
discovered: the owner of the house
upon which the two men fell begins
t. behave in an unaccountable fash
ion. There are whispers of murder
and an atmosphere of secrecy and
mystery that bewilder more than one
of the characters. One young man is
killed by another who had been his
closest friend. A love story enters.
1t is better that the story should be
hinted at in this cryptic fashion than
that it should be given away. Every
reader should have the privilege of
going through this mystery story on
his own; it will give him a new solu-
tion and ample entertainment.
