Agatha Christie – Why Didn’t They Ask Evans – First UK Edition 1934
£975.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘Why Didn’t They Ask Evans’ published by Collins [The Crime Club] in 1934. A good book without inscriptions – some soiling to the boards and fore-edge and a slit to the bottom of the spine. Browning to the spine and a little shaken. Some spotting to the page edges and to the prelims.
An Agatha Christie mystery in which Bobby Jones and Lady Frances “Frankie” Derwent investigate a dying man’s final words: “Why didn’t they ask Evans?” What begins as an odd accident turns into a clever, fast-moving puzzle involving deception, hidden identities, and attempted murder. Lighter and more adventurous than Poirot or Marple, the novel blends suspense with charm, wit, and a spirited amateur-detective partnership.
