TIME
(Listed in order of merit) ANONYMOUS FOOTSTEPS—John M. O’Connor—Cheshire House ($2). An ill-natured family—greedy—hateful—wait on an icebound island for one member to die. Five men are murdered; and the police never come. THE MURDER OF CAROLINE BUNDY— Alice Campbell—Farrar & Rinehart ($2). An errant swindler renews the search for the Holy Grail, with murder by the way. THOSE SEVEN ALIBIS—Charles G. Booth —Morrow ($2). The evil smile of a marble face changes a curio shop to a dueling ground; seven suspects for a slayer.
