a man with imagination as well as
a grim sense of humor.
This is due Of course to the men
tai way that Lynn Brock, the author
weaves his yarns. This author first
knows how to create a mysterious
background. First. by the clever
introduction of many characters and
vet each character has a bearing
upon the major crimes in Murder
on The Bridge"
In this story we are first con-
cerned with the very brutal and
crude murder of Doctor Melhuish
and right then and there the au-
thor connects you with mysterious
nurse in a green uniform and then
iust as rapidly he introduces you
to the shady reputation Of a DR..
Dorch.
It is the skillful way that Brock
keeps Dorch in the picture when he
really isn't. That proves the great
eleverness of the author.
There are numerous murders and
the clever discovery of them by
Colonel Gore. The author allows
Inspector Lord to be more than a
block head. He is not such a joke
because he does some good work
after Gore sets him on the right
track.
I do not believe in telling you the
plot Of any mystery but Murder
On The Bridge" has much more in
telligence than the ordinary mine
run mystery story.
It has been constructed in a con-
fusing way and yet the entire story
will hold water. In other words
all the murders we're practical ones
as seen by those who ordered them
done.
I recommend the latest expert
ences of Colonel Gore in Murder
on The Bridge"
