“SMITH - MISS MELVILLE REJOICES Evelyn Smith .claims a rare distinction. She’s one of those exotic few who were actually born and have lived their whole lives in New York City. And so, moreover, is her cat Christopher. Unvaried as her physical surroundings have been, Evelyn’s writing career has taken her all over the galaxy. It’s said that her early science fiction and fantasy stories earned rave reviews on Alpha Centauri. Coming down to earth, she began working on and writing for women’s magazi...nes, winding up as Features Editor on Family Circle. During that period, she was also writing Gothic novels, plus books and articles on witchcraft and mail order under the pen name Delphine C. Lyons. Then, out of the everywhere into the here, came Miss Susan Melville, another New Yorker with a unique approach to community service, and Evelyn Smith was again relaunched as a mystery novelist. This is Miss Melville’s first appearance in a short story; we rejoice to have her. Darkness had fallen and a light snow was beginning to come down as a dim figure swathed in a voluminous raincoat crept furtively down the short flight of steps that led into the sunken yard of a white limestone-fronted building on a quiet, expensive street on New York City’s quiet, expensive East Side.MoreLessRead More Read Less
