A CASE FOR THREE DETECTIVES.
BY Leo Bruce. New York: Frederick
A. Stokes Co.
The only interesting factor in this Pc
culiar mystery novel is its evident pur-
pose to stamp trio of erudite profess
sors OF criminology as manufacturers of
ldlotic theories which contain enough
semblance of logic to convince an over
awed jury Of the guilt of a suspected
murderer and to play up a hick police
man as a genuinely sincere represent
ative Of the law who gathers facts
without indulging in a lot of fancy work
and who puts his gleanings together
in businesslike and effective manner.
DR.. Thurston and his wife hold week.
end house party. Shortly after bed time
OF the first evening a woman's scream
issues from an upstairs room and when
the door OF Mary Thurston's sleeping
apartment is broken open that very
charming If sometimes wearying lady is
found murdered. Somehow or other.
without any information as to how or
why they arrived, three extraordinary
experts in criminology appear on the
scene and begin separate and inde-
pendent investigations. One Is a priest,
one is an Englishman and the third a
Frenchman. In addition there Is the
rural police sergeant who works along
without fuss and trimmings and seeks
to put an end to the silly meanderings
of the three great men by stating his
case and bringing matters to a close.
He is persistently and consistently
snubbed, and the story drags along for
time and then reaches climax that
is entirely too good to have been wasted
on so pointless method OF negotiation.
The same story, attached to more sub
stantial base, would have made better
mark for its author In the deld OF
mystery fiction s*s>s -..-
