I WILL SPEAK DAGGERS. By Maurice Procter. (Hutchinson, 10s. 6d.)

Also set in Yorkshire, also very sensible, matter-of-fact, and near to life as we know it, but this time by somebody who knows police procedure as Mr. Grierson knows the circuit mess and the robing room. Patient questioning is made readable by likely dialogue and a spare style.
