"Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and instead of bleeding, he sings."
Gardner was an immensely prolific, popular, and widely published writer in the early pulps, and if he didn't invent this style, he certainly had the opportunity, along with Daly, to help spread it far and wide in the pulp world.
Gardner was an early exponent of the "pulp style", in the 1920's, and used it extensively in his Ed Jenkins stories.
Gardner's story reminds one a bit of other impossible crime tales of the era that were also set in the outdoors: Ellery Queen's "The Lamp of God" (1935), John Dickson Carr's She Died a Lady (1943), and Fredric Brown's "Whistler's Murder" (1946).
