Agatha Christie – The Sittaford Mystery – First Paperback Edition 1948
£95.00
First paperback edition, first printing. Published by Penguin in London, 1948. This is a near fine copy. The green soft cover is slightly sunned, with some very slight toning in spots. There is slight wear at either side of the spine, which itself is slightly creased. The internals are clean and free from inscriptions. The text blocks are mostly bright and white throughout, though slightly toned due to poor paper stock. The hinges are markedly intact, though the rear has some slight separation. Overall, this is a near fine copy.
The green soft cover is slightly worn at the corners, with one dividing crease to the spine. The top and tail are slightly worn also. There is one small brown spot to the rear panel. The text blocks are bright and crisp, despite poor paper stock. The internals are clean and the hinges markedly intact. Overall, this is a near fine copy. Scarce.
The novel features Hercule Poirot, Arthur Hastings and Chief Inspector Japp. An American actress married to Lord Edgware asks Poirot to aid her in getting a divorce from her husband. Poirot agrees to help her, meeting her husband. That evening, the actress is seen at a dinner with thirteen guests, which has an associated superstition. By the next morning Lord Edgware and another American actress are found murdered, each at their own homes. Poirot investigates.
