    Description

    Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce, With Dustwrapper

    A scarce 1960 reissue of Christie's first novel, which was initially published by The Bodley Head in 1921.

    Christie published her first six novels with The Bodley Head, before moving on to Collins. In the 1960s, The Bodley Head reissued the Christie novels with new dust wrappers.

    Upon initial publication, this work received enthusiastic reviews, with 'The Times Literary Supplement' stating 'The only fault this story has is that it is almost too ingenious'.

    The work marked the start of Christie's illustrious crime fiction career, contributing to her becoming one of the leading authors of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction.
