Really? Well goody-goody for her!!
Queries:
1. “George Johnson, shot today in his living room; his wife and housekeeper were away, but Mrs. Johnson found her husband lying there and called an ambulance."
Query - Two Mrs Johnsons?
2. “Milton Jackson, Jonathan Adams, and Fred Miller were each found at their apartments, shot through the head. Same gun according to the ballistics."
Query - Johnson killing - “Just two—no fingerprints on the gun or around the apartment,..." - Same gun? No ballistics?
3. "It was on Johnson’s desk—must have been working on it when he was shot—but it was just a list of names, the members of the club.”
Query - Was he working on the desk, or on the list, or both i.e. on the list on the desk?

"I see the pattern too, Geoff"
I wish I did!

I'll have another crack at it later
1. Silly me--I knew my phraseology was awkward with that sentence. It should read, "...when Mrs. Johnson returned home, she found her husband lying there..."
2. Make that two clues in addition to ballistics, which determined that it was the same gun used in all four cases.
3. Yes, I'm writing too quickly for my own good, as usual: he was working on writing the list, just as what's his name--Littel--was working on a list in "The Puzzle Murder Case."
I'll change those sentences

Don't sweat it too much, but thanks!
