Mystery and Crime de Brune, Aiden: The Murders at Madlands (1931); v1; 15 Oct 2019

[Pulpmeister]

Almost a John Dickson Carr impossible crime: a man is shot dead on a closed room when about to make some shocking revelations which could see some of those present go to prison. Two present had guns, but neither had been fired.

To work back to the killer, and then the method, the investigators had first to burrow into the business world of the victim and his associates to narrow down the field of suspects, and then work out how on earth it was done.

The cover image uses, rather cheekily, a pre First World War photograph of the Old Government House in Parramatta Park, NSW, to represent Madlands House.
