Recent Murders

THE BOOMERANG CLUE--Agatha Christie--Dodd, Mead ($2). Few constables and no Scotland Yard men mar the course of detecting by young Bobby and his girl Frankie. Romance survives near-murder, drug ring, kidnappers, a motor "accident." Too soon comes a nicely individual ending. THE THREE COFFINS--John Dickson Carr--Harper ($2). Dr. Fell almost makes an error while pursuing an illusionist. There is a new method of murder in a locked room, a bit of dry humor in the plot. MURDER AT HIGH NOON--Paul McGuire--Crime Club ($2). Murder of a newshawk brings out "the perfect crime"; a final confession clears the last red herring.
