CRIME CORNER
THE VOICE OF THE CORPSE. By Max Murray. Michael Joseph Ltd., London. As Angela Pewsey, a middle-aged spinster, sat singing at her spinningwheel, somebody struck her with a Blunt Instrument, fatally. To all outward appearance she had been a notable doer: of good works, but under cover of social activity in her little English village, she had collected bits and pieces of scandal about her neighbours. These tit-bits she put to paper to send anonymously to the people concerned, which you will at once think accounts for the use of the blunt instrument in the first paragraph of Page One. Well, read and see. Max Murray, who is new to detective fiction, brings off a surprise ending which really is a surprise.
