Agatha Christie – Hallowe’en Party – First UK Edition 1969 – A very fine copy
£385.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Collins Crime Club in London, 1969. This is a superb very fine copy. The dust wrapper has not been price clipped, showing the original £1.25 net price, accompanied by the 25s price. The boards are free from notable wear and the text blocks are bright throughout. A neat inscription to the front endpaper. Overall, this is a very near fine copy and the best we have handled.
The novel features Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the mystery novelist Ariadne Oliver, who begins the novel in attendance at a Hallowe’en party. A girl at the party claims she witnessed a murder, which, at the time, she was too young to realize was a murder. Soon, the girl herself is found murdered, and Oliver calls in Poirot. This book was dedicated to P. G. Wodehouse.
