re - mystery novels set in museums. Try: Fergus Hume, "THE JADE EYE", John Long, London 1903. It's surely one of the worst novels ever written, (by the author of "The Mandarin's Fan; The Crowned Skull; Hagar of the Pawnshop; etc. etc. etc.). But no question, it's a mystery story set in a museum. David Phillips Art Gallery and Museum Studies, History of Art, University of Manchester
