Bush, Christopher - The Case of the Monday Murders (1936)
Review by Nick Fuller
3/5
Since 1918, according to Ferdinand Pole of the Murder League, thirteen murders have been committed on Mondays. As if to prove his theory, it is doscovered that a paedophiliac economist was slayed in an ingeniously simple manner, and an actress without a past the next week - both on Mondays. Ludovic Travers and 'General' Wharton are competent enough in their Miles Burtonish manner, and the story-telling is faster and less monotonous than one expects from tales of mass murder. Unfortuntaely, there are only two (at a pinch, three) suspects, so the murderer's identity is hardly surprising and hence disappointing. A parrot is not used as well as it could have been.
