With a cover as lurid as this one by George Rozen, shouldn't the stories in this issue of THRILLING DETECTIVE have titles with a little more, I don't know, pizzazz than "Death Drives a Bus" and "Murder Sets the Stage"? The titles of the other stories aren't much snappier: "Eye-Witness Testimony", "The Motive Goes Round and Round", "A Toast to Victory". "Murder Meat" and "Ashes of Hate" are a little better, but not much. The authors are pretty solid, though: Fredric Brown, W.T. Ballard, Norman A. Daniels, and James P. Webb, among others.

Good writers all and the cover is swell.
"Death Drives a Bus" ... I like the title, and that could be the 606 from Trenton to Princeton, NJ.
"Death Drives a Bus" reminds me of Ralph Kramden from The Honeymooners. "Step to the rear, please, folks. Step to the rear of the bus."
Now that's a cover!
