Readers of detective stories need no longer feel even a
tinge of shame on account of this popular pursuit, for we arc told in The Crime Club Bulletin that Cabinet Ministers and even Bishops read detective stories ! But the market is flooded with them, and no dust cover, no matter how lurid, gives an adequate idea of what one may find inside it. It was therefore, in our opinion, an excellent idea to form a Crime Club, whose panel (which includes Dr. Cyril Alington) will select the best detective novel of the day. There is no payment on becoming a member of the club, but in return for a postcard directed to the Crime Club Headquarters, 48 Pall Mall, S.W. 1, one will receive The Crime Club Bulletin, which will recommend the best detective story which Messrs. Collins are publishing in the near future.
