What bugs me is the criminal who knocks somebody off for the sole purpose of 
making the mystery into a murder mystery.  

I adored Charlotte McLeod's work, but had to give it up because of all the 
corpses being dragged in by the tail.  The final straw was a story in which a 
couple of dozen very rare Rolls Royce automobiles disappeared from a locked 
garage -- enough motivation to track down whodunnit, don't you think?  And 
*how*dunnit would be even more important, if you got the cars back and wanted 
to store them in the same garage.  But somebody got randomly knocked off.
