"THE WAXWORKS MURDER."
A murderer who takes a sporting chance and deliberately gives clues to the police, and a detective who is not infallible help to single oi.t " The Waxworks Murder " from the mass of detective fiction pouring from this world's presses. In the chamber of horrors the eerie green light reveals the body of a girl clasped in the arms of a waxen man-monster. More murders, the activities of a super-blackmailer, and night-life in the Parisian underworld combine to test the powers of the detective. Mr. John Carr weaves his plot so skilfully that even the most astute reader of thrillers inaj congratulate himself if he is able to sol i-e the mystery before the very end. "The Waxworcs Murder," by John D. Carr. (llamish Hamilton.)
