The Casual Murderer and Other Stories [EPUB ebook] 

Madame Storey is one of the most interesting as well as one of the most original characters in detective fiction. Her profession, as she would prefer to put it, is solving other people’s problems. She is a friend to every troubled soul. She works through her knowledge of the human heart and her feminine intuition is seldom at fault. In her latest adventures she is at her unsurpassable best, using her woman’s wits to solve the strange disappearance of Aline Elder, the mysterious death of Commodore Varick, the multi-millionaire, and other extraordinary occurrences.
