BV WALTER D. HICKMAN WHEN you read "Secret Wavs,’’ by Andrew Soutar, you will berome acquainted with a retired English jurist who turns detective. Judge Cringle was hardboiled with ever.' policeman and detective w ho ever testified in his court. At the same time, every criminal in London hoped that their cases would not come before Cringle. He had the reputation of throwing the keys away when he passed sentence. On the other side of the picture, innocent defendants virtually always were acquitted in Judge Cringles court because the court conducted the examination, exposing the eves-shut methods of the detectives. And off the bench and in his rapacity as amateur detective, Judge Cringle was more dangerous to London criminals than he was on the bench. Mr. Soutar has written thirtytwo novels and he is considered an expert on creating fictional crimes. a a a A DISTINGUISHING mark of Secret Ways” is that the reader is not so much concerned regarding who murdered Ambrose Mernman. millionaire diamond merchant and gentleman farmer in southern England, but in the motive for the crime. This is rather a situation, but the author has created a logical situation, because the elderly iuri-t. then on the bench, was a member of the house party when the millionaire was found murdered The author has nicely balanced conversation and action. This is a quality which so many systery novels today do not possesss. Mr. .Soutar Is a master at balancing action and conversation. Another factor in favor of this bonk is that all the characters strike the reader as flesh ar.d blood individuals. You will remember Judge Cringle. because the kindly-looking old jurist often appears as a "harmless. meddling old fool.” Because there is not too much

lengthy conversation, the author is able to create one exciting new situation after another. The author is not guilty of repeating and if Judge Cringle thinks out loud when he gets into a tight spot, it is only for a second This is one of the more intelligent mystery stories It has literary merit "Secret Ways” was released today by Claude Kendall, New York Citv, and sells for $2.
