CRIME AND DETECTION
In THE MAN WHO DIDN’T FLY (Eyre and Spottiswoode, 191 pp.) Margot Bennett constructs her story around the theme that four men arranged to fly from England to Ireland; only three joined the aircraft, which was lost in the Irish Sea. Noone knew which three were in the aircraft and the fourth man also disappeared. An ingenious, well-con-structed story will extend the already wide recognition Margot Bennett has won as a newcomer of note in the ranks of detective fiction writers. MANY A SLIP by Freeman Wills Crofts (Hodder and Stoughton, 188 pp.) is a collection of 21 short stories in each of which Superintendent French spots the slip a murderer made when committing his crime.
