Enter the solver of the murders, Philo Vance. He smokes expensive, heady cigarets. He drawls, diverts, digresses. He likes Chinese water colors and all manner of arty things.

Finally, he gets the murderer by applying the theory that a painting is a greater work of skill than a photograph. Shrewd readers should be able to spot the murderer on page 330; average readers on page 339; stupid readers on page...
