A Murder is Announced

First UK edition, published 1950, Collins Crime Club

Page edges a little dusty and foxed, spine extremities of the boards are faded from red to orange otherwise near fine in a very good dustwrapper (chipped at the base of spine with a little loss that has taken away the 'club' of The Crime Club. There is rubbing to the head of the spine and front panel corners with very minor loss. There is a crease along the base of the front panel and at the top corner of the rear panel). A first edition that is increasingly difficult to find.
