A Studio Mystery. By Frank Aubrey. (Jerrold and Sons.)— A
" mystery " is a secret, and there is not much of a secret about the murder of the artist Arnold. The suspicions of the reader fall at once on Gustave. There is a certain ingenuity, however, in the working out of the motive of the crime. Altogether, A Studio Mystery is a fairly good specimen of its class. The volume belongs to the "Daffodil Library."—A Madonna of the Music- Halls. By William Le Queux. (F. V. White and Co )—A very strange story of hypnotism this ; too strange, we venture to think, for though the bounds of credibility are liberally large when we have to do with fiction, the powers of the physician who holds the "Madonna" in his toils distinctly overpass them. The tale, nevertheless, is well put together and vigorously written.
