Dr. Morelle Meets Murder

Here is another collection of the strange adventures of Doctor Morelle, that most sardonic of detectives, in a sequence of eight intriguing episodes from the Doctor’s casebook. The Doctor meets both brutal and cunning murders and murderers, ranging from a man battered to death with a heavy brass object to a woman poisoned with cyanide. Morelle investigates in his inimitable, cerebral, and biting style. He is aided–or sometimes handicapped–by his gentle, timorous assistant, Miss Frayle–who in this volume finally tells gets her backbone up and tells her employer that ?enough is enough!? Finding a new secretary–or keeping the old one–proves to be one of the most difficult mysteries that Dr. Morelle has ever had to solve! Great classic British crime stories.
