Morrah: The Mummy Case Mystery

"Dermot Morrah’s The Mummy Case Mystery is practically impossible to solve. The scene is laid in Beaufort College, Oxford—detectives being a pair of Oxford Dons, with some assistance from Miss Foley. It’s all about the mysterious conflagration of a house, supposedly containing a valuable mummy and a sleeping professor . . . and only one charred body is found. It is the kind of thing that you refuse to put down until the last page of the last chapter has been devoured." (Charlotte, NC, Observer, 1933)
