Hello!
In my case I've read nearly everything that Piper did write. There a
few exceptions. As for Murder, that one I found out about via
Gutenberg, and rate it as interesting. According to Carr in a private
email from my musings on the old Yahoo list, Piper did indeed write
three such ones, one was sadly destroyed by the individual supposedly
hired to sort out his estate. One is in private ownership, I think I
know who that is.

And for mysteries, I got started reading the series from two YA
authors, guess which ones, and Sherlock Holmes, and yes Perry Mason.

As for all of what Piper has written, I've got several in hardcopy,
Uller certainly, and the three Fuzzy stories, (Little Fuzz says
"YEEK!" by the way.) Also Federation, and Empire. Plus Four Day
Planet.

So far as I know, I've read every piece of fiction Piper ever had published except "Rebel Raider".  Of all those, Murder in the Gunroom is the only one that I have no interest in ever re-reading.  I'm surprised it got published.
