Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Illustrated by (dj design) Kenneth Farnhill (illustrator). First Edition. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [ex-library book ("discard" stamp on front pastedown, circulation slip on rear endpaper, call number in white on book spine), front hinge cracked, moderately shelfworn, one-time owner's initials plus date & place of purchase in ink on rear endpaper]. "The unusual background for [the author's] new novel is two Agricultural Colleges, one for men and the other for women. A woman student is missing and a corpse wearing her clothes is discovered, but the corpse springs a surprise. The scene changes to a holiday camp and then to an hotel in Italy, and after the victim's real identity has been established the murderer has to be tracked down. Dame Beatrice Lestrange Bradley is called in because her pig-farming nephew holds a temporary post at the College." This British author wrote 65 mystery novels featuring her intrepid and eccentric protagonist, a consulting psychiatrist to the Home Office ("Mrs. Bradley" in the earlier books, but re-styled and toned down as "Dame Beatrice" beginning in the mid-1950s), over the course of her career, which lasted from 1929 until her death in 1983. Once considered one of the "Big Three" of female writers of crime fiction (along with Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers), she never achieved the same level of international fame because her work was seldom published in the U.S. (not even in paperback) during her lifetime -- although this particular book is credited on the title page to both its British publisher and the New York-based British Book Centre. Michele Slung, writing in the second edition of "Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers," calls her "a special taste," and sums up the appeal of her work (or, for some, the lack thereof) thusly: "To put it mildly, eccentric goings-on are Mitchell's hallmark. And although some critics have felt that her plots suffered from too much attention paid to witchcraft, the supernatural, and folklore esoterica, this proclivity is what gives her work a consistent flavor, fine for those who like it and to be avoided by those who don't." Posthumously, the entire Mrs. Bradley/Dame Beatrice oeuvre has been published in trade paperback format, but even those can be hard to come by, a testament to her enduring appeal; many of her first editions, however, are quite scarce. NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing.
