1 3 y separately published work icon Murder Pie J. L. Ranken (editor), Jane Clunies Ross (editor), Sydney : Angus and Robertson , 1936 Z74359 1936 single work novel crime mystery 'Here is a literary cocktail, with ingredients of truth, science and fiction. The sixteen well-known Australians who produced this unusual book, after twelve months' work, include university professors, an actor, a librarian, a writer of stories for children, journalists and housewives. Starting with a murder in the Sydney University grounds committed by Miss J. L. Ranken, who handled the first chapter of the book, the story then moves along through the capable hands of another fourteen collaborators to a dramatic conclusion by Mrs Brennan. Each collaborator, after having read the previous chapters, wrote his or her portion. Miss Ranken, of course, had not even a foreword to read. For the literary critic and the budding novelist, the way in which the plot has been developed will prove as interesting as the exciting story itself will be to the ordinary reader and the 'mystery fan'. With so many fertile imaginations at work one murder (naturally) would not be sufficient. There are six.' (Publisher's blurb, All About Books, 8 (4) 1936: 61)
