About This Item
New York, NY: Carroll & Graf Publishers, 1992. First Edition, First Printing . Hardcover. COLLECTIBLE - NEAR FINE/Near Fine. Text/BRAND NEW. Bi-color boards w/gilt spine lettering/Fine. Goulishly illustrated (a skull of vegetables) DJ/NF w/miniscule closed tear to lower front edge. Anthology of short murder mysteries chillingly served up in full fare by time tested authors. Not just arsenic laced breakfast porridges and strychnine drops in bedtime cocoa, but guns, knives and the good old fashioned blunt instruments claim victims at the deft pen of Agatha Christie, P.D. James, Georges Simenon, and Roald Dahl, to name a few. The tales are grouped into 3 parts. Part I, Specialites de la Maison; II, Entrees Historiques; and III, Just Desserts. Fine copy of an excellent collection of spiced murders.
