First edition of Agatha Christie's Mrs. McGinty's Dead
First edition of Christie's classic Hercule Poirot mystery, preceding the first Collins Crime Club edition by one month. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box.
"This village murder begins among the rural proletariat (cf. Death by Drowning in The Thirteen Problems and the excellent London working-class woman in The Hollow), but after a time it moves toward the better-spoken classes. Poirot suffers in a vividly awful country guesthouse in order to get in with the community and rescue a rather unsatisfactory young man from the gallows. Highly ingenious – at this point she is still able to vary the tricks she plays, not repeat them" (Robert Barnard).
