Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Used. The Monster of St. Marylebone (1999) By Wayne Worcester ? Signet ISBN: 0451198719, Condition: Used, as sold by Crappy Old Books This is the book you pick up when you think, ?I?d like a bit of London murder, but specifically the kind that lurks in a nice neighbourhood where the property prices are high and the secrets are higher.? In The Monster of St. Marylebone , Wayne Worcester takes you into that delightful territory where polite civilisation and creeping dread share a postcode. It?s London crime?but not the grimy back-alley stereotype. No, no. This is respectable unease. Murder with a nice frontage. Danger within walking distance of decent coffee. This particular copy, valiantly preserved and unleashed upon the world by Crappy Old Books , arrives in proudly Used condition, which here means: A softly creased spine , suggesting at least one previous reader refused to stop at a sensible bedtime once the bodies started turning up. Lightly scuffed corners ?the literary equivalent of a detective?s rumpled overcoat: perfectly functional, faintly battered, and far more interesting this way. Gently yellowed pages , like a permanent London fog clinging to the text for atmosphere. Inside, you?ll find: A mystery rooted in St. Marylebone, a London area that looks very respectable on a postcard and considerably less so when there?s a ?monster? about. Characters who are absolutely not okay, but trying very hard to pretend they are. An investigation that peels back layers of charm, money, and history to reveal something much less polished underneath. Worcester serves up: Proper detective tension , the kind where everyone looks like they?re hiding something, including the architecture. Sharp observations about people, class, and the lengths folks will go to keep horror in the shadows and appearances intact. A creeping sense of unease , as if the city itself is side-eyeing you and saying, ?Yes, we did that. And what of it?? As for your Crappy Old Books edition, it may also include: A mysterious dog-ear or two where the plot twists particularly hard. Very slight wave or warp along the pages, possibly from exposure to rain, tea steam, or the emotional humidity of a good whodunnit. That comforting old-paper scent, part dust and part ?someone else worried about this ?monster? long before you did.? You?ll enjoy this used copy if: You like crime fiction where the setting matters?where the streets, houses, and history feel complicit. You?d rather read about monsters in respectable postcodes than meet any of your neighbours. You think the phrase ?nice area? is always one conversation away from ??well, except for that one thing.? And because you?re getting it from Crappy Old Books , you also get: A book with history ?it?s already survived another shelf, another life, maybe another overstuffed bedside table. A pre-softened paperback that opens easily and doesn?t fight you like some smug, brand-new brick of a novel. The quiet satisfaction of knowing your sinister London murder comes with characterful wear at no extra charge. So go ahead?take The Monster of St. Marylebone home. Let it escort you down streets where the lamps are warm, the facades are immaculate, and something very wrong is happening just out of sight. After all, the only real monster you?ll face is the urge to stay up far too late finishing ?just one more chapter? of a used, thoroughly seasoned paperback from Crappy Old Books.
