[myvo] Murders in Volume 2. [Henry Gamadge] First published in book form in 1941. A nice bit of antiquarian mystery centering on a missing volume from an undistinguished set of Byron published in Philadelphia before 1840; the kind of set that no one could possibly be interested in. In 1840 volume 2 disappears along with an English governess; 100 years alter the volume - and the governess? - reappears. | For some reason this title is a little scarcer than the others; the Berkley paperback is very difficult to find, and Bantam did not include it in its 1980's reissues.
