THE CORPSE IN CANONICALS. By G. D. H. Cole and

M. Cole. (Collins. 7s. 6d.)—Mr. and Mrs. Cole's new detec- c story is extremely disappointing—at least this reviewer guessed both the mysteries as soon as they came into existence. We have learnt to expect so much from Mr. and Mrs. Cole that it is more than usually disappointing to find a detective story from their pen, the writingof whichthey cannot have taken very seriously.
