LIVELY AND UNUSUAL
The scone of George Harmon Coxe's new mystery novel, "Tho Barotique Mastery," is laid on a littlo island in the Caribbean Sea, a smart holiday resort owned by an English baronet. To this island for a holiday goes Kent Murdoch, press photographer, and when an I'-nglish planter is found murdered, Kent is asked by tho island's owner if no will endeavour to unravel the mystery. However, murder begets murder, and Kent Murdoch finds himself with several problems on his hands, not tho least of which is the sifting of the truth from tho lies told by the island colonists, all of whom seem to have something to hide. The climax to this story is good and, written against a colourful, romantic background, tho talc itself is lively and unusual. "The Barotique Mystery," by George Harmon Coxe. (Heincmann.)
