Elizabeth Hely follows last
years mystery debut with
another CommiSSaire Cirret
adventure that is rewarding
from cover to cover. A MARK
OF DISPLEASURE (Scrib-
ner's, $2.95.) Visiting a friend
in Edinburgh. M. Cirret is on
the spot when a lady dates
a lethal dose of cough medi-
cine. The late Janice Watson
made her home with her
cousin Grace Logan, a wom-
an of enormous vitality who
prefers a refuses existence;
two adopted war orphans,
and her adoring nanny. On
hand, too, was a sutton Janice
was about to reject. An ex-
ceedingly good writer, Miss
Hely creates as much sus-
pense with characterization
as another writer would pur-
sue with a murder a day and
1000 narrow escapes. First
rate, right down to the ironic,
somber finale.
In spite Of many effective
moments, we were let down
by Margaret Millar's A
STRANGER IN MY GRAVE
Random House, $3.50.
Daisy Harker asks a private
detective to help exercise a
dream of her own death by
finding out what really hap
pened years ago on the day
she dreams she died. The dis
covery of a grave like that
in her dream, with another
name but the same date on
a granite cross, intensifies
her distress. Miss Millar is a
fine storyteller. Her gifts are
demonstrated here. But the
book is too long and COM
pick. and too much is given
away by the slow unraveling
OF a crucial letter. Yet it's
worth reading. See for your
self.
A most original and sue
cesSful concept is Theodore
Mathieson's THE GREAT
DETECTIVE (Simon and
Schuster, $3.50. Using known
facts about the character
and lives of historical figures,
Mr.. Mathieson has written
detective stories with the
immortals themselves as
sleuthS. Best of all is a tale
involving Captain Cook.
Least dependent on the fas-
cinating, yet gimmicky, great
man-as-detective theme for
its main strength, the Cook
tale is completely satisfying
mystery in its right. The
others fall only slightly be-
low this standard. Included
among the sleuths are Alex
ander the Great, Omar
Khayyam, Leonardo de Vinci,
fernando Cortez, and Flor
ence Nightingale. The stories

One of the wonders of the

lievable if the. Navy hadn't
done 1t.
This is the story Mr.. Baar
and Mr.. Howard tell in fas-
cinating and authoritative de-
tail.
The book starts with World
War II German experiments
with missile-carrying subs,
relates early Navy tests which
seemed to show only that any
one who tried to blast a big
missile OF from q submarine
would be both crazy and
dead and then tells Of the
sudden urgent orders to build
a Polaris.
Despite ot-dragging from
the administration, the au-
thors point out, the Navy did
build it and in record time.
And tests this summer showed
1t works.

The Marquise OF O-was a

II this might seem a dire

when some evildoer suffers
