TWO MYSTERY NOVELS
A baffling mystery, the crux of which is the simple words spoken by a dying man, is unfolded in Agatha Christie's new mystery novel, " Why Didn't They Ask Evans?"— a Crime Club book. Readers of Mrs. Christie's numerous books will enjoy this latest excursion into the realm of murder and mystery. While the book is not her best, it is full of exciting incident and has, as usual, one of the writer's incomparable denouements. Always to be relied upon for an exciting and entertaining story, Hulbert Footner has thrills in plenty in his latest mystery novel, " Dangerous Cargo," a Crime Club book. The action of the story takes place on board a luxurious yacht built by Horace Laghet, one of the richest and most hated men in America. Mysteriously warned of danger to his life if he goes on his intended cruise, Laghet persuades Madame. Storey, already known to readers of Mr. Footner's stories, to accompany him and lay bare the plot.
