Published "in cooperation with the Mystery Writers of America, Inc.", Sleuth Mystery Magazine provided light-hearted, crime-adventure vignettes by well-known writers, in much the same style as Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. It folded after only two issues, possibly because of distribution problems.

Started as a reprint of the US magazine of the same name but in 1905, under the editorship of William James Thorold, it began adding photographs of leading British socialites and theatre personalities, cartoons, fashion columns, social notes, and, occasionally, English fiction and verse that did not find its way into the New York edition.

Always more heavily illustrated than its American parent and lacking the topical items in the New York edition and those with peculiarly American reference (all of the editorial departments and reviews, for instance, were omitted), the English Smart Set was really a distinctive periodical. Most of the magazine's American readers (and, indeed, the contributors themselves) remained blissfully unaware that there ever was such a thing as the London Smart Set and, to tell the truth, so did the vast majority of the British reading public. Even so, it prospered--in part because it had no need to wrestle with the problems that beset the parent journal (these were all solved before the material crossed the ocean), in part because, as a minor periodical with a very low 'overgead,' it was content with a small stake in the Fleet Street market.
