Agatha Christie – Appointment With Death – First UK Edition 1938
£750.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘Appointment with Death’ by Agatha Christie, published by Collins [The Crime Club] in 1938. A near fine book with three neat names to the front endpaper and half-title and some foxing throughout. Some light fading to the spine and some wear to the corners.
The story revolves around the psychological and physical torment exerted by Mrs. Boynton, a tyrannical matriarch, over her family. During a trip to the ancient city of Petra, Mrs. Boynton is found dead. Hercule Poirot, Christie’s iconic detective, is called upon to solve the case. Poirot investigates motives rooted in familial tension, psychological manipulation, and repressed anger. With his trademark methodical approach, Poirot uncovers secrets, exposing the killer’s identity through incisive reasoning. The novel is celebrated for its deep exploration of human behaviour and gripping suspense.
