1952 Mrs. McGinty's Dead
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first UK edition, first impression of this work, published one month after the first US edition.
Bound in the publisher's cloth, with the original unclipped dust wrapper.
A compelling murder mystery novel written by the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie.
Set in a seemingly quiet village, 'Mrs McGinty's Dead' features Hercule Poirot investigating with his novelist friend Ariadne Oliver. In this mystery, Poirot must determine whether the elderly Mrs McGinty was killed by her lodger, as is suspected, or if it was someone else entirely.
With four pages of reviews and publisher's advertisements to the rear.
Condition
Bound in the publisher's cloth, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with light bumping to the extremities, the odd mark to cloth, and some discolouration and spotting to the spine. Spotting to fore edge. Ink inscription to front endpaper. Dust wrapper is also excellent, with rubbing to extremities and joints, and minor edge wear to backstrip head and tail. Internally, there is a slight strain before title page, with the gathering from title page to p15 strained, with cords visible. Otherwise, firmly bound. Pages are bright with just the odd spot.
