- Notes:
- 1st printing as per number line. Probable book club edition.
- No price given.
- Last page is unnumbered.
- Cover art appears to be uncredited.
- The book is divided into parts (each with a title page followed by a blank page):
- Part I: Murder Most Modern (page 3)
- Part II: Murder Unclassifiable (Page 81)
- Part III: Murder Most Genteel (page 171)
- Part IV: Murder Fantastical (page 243)
- Part V: Murder Most Historical (page 293)
- The text is well-spaced and each story starts half way down the page to allow room for a paragraph about the author, so the Macdonald story probably wouldn't reach the word count for a novelette. (... especially since the page before the start of the next story is blank - is actually almost 18 pp.) Similarly, the Sherman story (which also has the title page for the next story after it; it is 16 pp). Similarly the Krinard (16½ pp).
