'"THE TWO TICKET PUZZLE. By J. J. Connington. (Gollancz. 7s.
Gd.)—A manufacturer, by the name of Preston is found under the scat of a railway carriage, with bullets of
• two different calibres in his head. His doctor is in love with Preston's wife, and travelled by the same train on an errand faked by telegram typed on his own typewriter. On the floor of the murdered man's compartment is found a fragment of a spectacle lens belonging to the doctor, who also behaves suspiciously in not admitting having travelled by that train. `Did the 'doctor murder the manufacturer ? Obviously not ; and neither aid a clerk whom Preston had dismissed and who was found in possession of the notes which Preston was carry- ing at the time. It was, of course, somebody whom it would • be unfair to disclose. Superintendent Ross is to be con- ggratulated on his discrimination between suspicions, and Mr. • Ccinnington on the competence with which the story is told.
