Agatha Christie – 4.50 From Paddington – First UK Edition 1957
£150.00
A first edition, first printing published by Collins in 1958. A very good book without inscriptions. In a very good unclipped wrapper with some light staining to the spine and some wear to the corners and internal tape repairs. Some light marks to the rear panel and a closed tear.
The story begins when Elspeth McGillicuddy, a friend of Miss Marple, is travelling by train from London to visit her. During her journey, she witnesses a murder in a passing train travelling parallel to hers. Shocked and convinced of the murder, Mrs. McGillicuddy reports it to the authorities, but they are sceptical due to the lack of evidence.
Miss Marple, known for her sharp intuition and understanding of human nature, takes Mrs. McGillicuddy’s story seriously. She begins to investigate the case herself, and with the help of her friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow, who is a professional housekeeper, they uncover clues and secrets hidden in the countryside near the railway line.
