Cynthia Asquith (ed.) - The Black Cap: New Stories Of Murder & Mystery (Hutchinson, 1927) J. M. Barrie - Shall We Join The Ladies? L. P. Hartley - The Killing Bottle Mrs. Belloc Lowdnes - An Unrecorded Instance Barry Pain - A Considerable Murder Hugh Walpole - The Tarn Arthur Machen - The Islington Mystery Edgar Wallace - Circumstantial Evidence W. B. Maxwell - The Prince Oliver Onions - The Smile Of Karen D. H. Lawrence - The Lovely Lady Shane Leslie - The Hospital Nurse Elizabeth Bowen - Telling W. Somerset Maugham - Footprints In The Jungle Lady Cynthia Asquith - The Lovely Voice
Includes the following classics! Elizabeth Bowen - Telling: Downtrodden Terry always suspected that he must be capable of achieving something in his life and stabbing Jacqueline to death behind the chapel during a party probably qualifies. When it comes to confessing his deed to his family, however, it's still the same old case of nobody listening to a word he says. As much a crime story as horror with Terry very much in the tradition of the blazer and flannels psycho popularised by L. P. Hartley. Hugh Walpole - The Tarn: Ullswater. Fenwick despises Foster. He always makes a success of things while Fenwick flounders in his wake. A clear the air meeting - instigated by Foster who doesn't like to upset anybody - provides Fenwick the opportunity to do what he's always wanted - murder that simpering, obscenely nice, non-swimming bastard by pushing him in the fathomless tarn at back of his house. But the icy water that acted as his accomplice in ridding him of his enemy now comes hunting the murderer.
