Mr. Pinkerton and Inspector Bull

Three Mr. Pinkerton and Inspector Bull novels in one volume!

4. Mr. Pinkerton Solves the Eel Pie murders  (1933)

Inspector
Bull is called in when a young woman's body is found on a tiny island
in the Thames called Eel Pie. His friend, timid Welsh Mr. Pinkerton,
wants to help with the investigation, but really doesn't seem to have
much to do. It seems that the victim had antagonized a number of
people--her ex-husband, her sister, her lover's wife--but not enough to
kill her. Yet not only was she dead, but so was another man.

5. Mr. Pinkerton Finds a Body (1934)

The famous little
rabbity blunderer is the accused this time. An unusual mystery story
against a vivid background of life in Oxford among the dons.

6. Mr. Pinkerton Goes to Scotland Yard (1934)

Rabbity Mr Pinkerton is
quite sure many deaths are murders unsuspected by Scotland Yard. To
prove his point to his friend Inspector Bull he investigates, in his
timidly courageous way, the death of Mrs Ripley, who hated her family
almost as much as they hated her. The trouble with discovering a
murderer, of course, is that the murderer also discovers you, as Mr
Pinkerton finds out.
