Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover with dust jacket. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good+. First Edition. 12mo. Pp. 160. Red-orange cloth, titles stamped in black on the spine: board edges rubbed, light soiling to the head edge. In the color illustrated dust jacket with Crime Club device, price 7/6 intact on the front flap: spine ends and back corners chipped with magic tape reinforcements verso, short closed tears, light soiling. The twelfth humorous murder mystery from Australian sisters Constance and Gwenyth Little who had a lengthy run as mystery writers mostly in their adopted home of Newton, NJ. Other than their debut novel (1938), "Black" was used in subsequent titles. (Their English publisher employed the pen-name portmanteau "Conyth.") Unlike many mystery novels of Golden Age Detection, their sleuths, whether a ballerina, a nurse, an heiresses, et al., are always female; the male protagonists serve as mere foils. Moreover, wacky, screwball plots prevail, fulfilling the publisher's promise of "homicide and humor." HUBIN, p. 216. Jacket preserved in a removable clear archival sleeve. Seller Inventory # 8268
