It was then published in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company under the title Dead Man's Mirror in June 1937 with one story removed (The Incredible Theft). In 1987 Berkeley Books republished all four stories. - AsNotedIn

It would seem nowadays - it was not true of Sherlock Holmes, when the rules were less rigid - the shorter the detective story the less good it will be. The least effective of the stories in this book occupies 32 pages; the most 96; and there are two of intermediate length and merit. All are of quite a high standard as long-short stories, but none is as good as any of Mrs Christie's full-length detective novels. The fact is that the reader of today demands to participate in a detective story, and no living writer, unless occasionally Miss Sayers, can find room in a short story for this extra detective. - Simon Nowell-Smith of The Times Literary Supplement's issue of 27 March 1937
