| If the Llewellyn book deals globally with the upper echelons of power politics, Michael Gilbert's THE BODY OF A GIRL (Harper & Row, $5.95), equally good of its kind, is a purely local affair. The action takes place in a small town near London, where the skeleton of a girl has been found. A new chief inspector, who is perhaps not all that he seems to be, takes charge of the case.

| Gilbert is a smooth performer. His style is logical and flowing and full of deft touches. “The Body of a Girl” does what a good mystery should do: open up into all kinds of ramifications, with untold menace behind the action. At the end, there is a bang‐up climax, and it is a pleasure to see how skillfully Gilbert wraps everything up.
