255 pages. Small octavo (7 1/2" x 5 1/4") issued in red with black lettering to spine. 1st British edition.
Meadowbank is one of the most exclusive girls' schools in England. Unthinkable that there should be a murder at Meadowbank. But a train of violence, starting in the Middle East and involving jewels, intrigue and secret agents, did in fact reach its deadly climax within the distinguished precincts of the school itself. Worse still it became clear that the culprit must actually be among the staff or the pupils. There was a cat among the pigeons. It was the intelligent schoolgirl Julia Upjohn who finally went to consult Hercule Poirot. "it's very urgent," she said. "It's about some murders and a robbery and things like that." Unruffled and retaining every bit of his customary and engaging aplomb, the incomparable Belgian set about unraveling a case, which, he was forced to agree, was a devious and complicated as a snarl of tangled wool. Agatha Christie has once again succeeded brilliantly in blending entertainment, detection and suspense to give her vast number of admirers a book which fully maintains the unique and enviable Christie tradition.

Description:
Collins White Circle Pocket Edition #228. Great 1940s cover! Colonel Anthony Gethryn must prove a man innocent of a murder he's been convicted for in only 5 days. MacDonald was a great practitioner of the mystery-suspense genre; his books remain readable, even if his characters are nowhere near as enlightened as we tend to be today. Please read this volume in its historical context. A very clean copy, spine slightly darkened with very faint reading crease: see photos.
