The Middle Temple murder by J. S. Fletcher
Murder of elderly man investigated by newspaperman nearby when body is discovered and Scotland Yard. Author does out one clue or witness per chapter. Good plot and surprising but not unlikely killer.

The Mill House Murder by J.S. Fletcher
I really wanted to read this because it was finished by Torquemada, and was the only mystery he ever wrote, despite writing the world's hardest crossword puzzles for the Observer and being their mystery reviewer. Cain's Jawbone emphatically does not count -- and that's not because I'm no closer to solving it than when I started. But the mystery is obvious from the start (which is how I feel about most of Fletcher's mysteries.

Extremely fun read! The end was a bit abrupt, though...
