Add to basketFirst Edition. -- Condition: Fine but for some very small light spots to foredge of text block, in fine dust jacket. -- Details: An exemplary example of the first edition. The third novel by Disney in which a wealthy spinster, Margaret Tilbury, and her conservative New England family are plunged into a series of cold-booded and harrowing crimes . . ' 'No one has used New England's suburbs and small towns as often and effectively as Disney . . ' - Twentieth-Century Crime and Mystery Writers. 'Dorothy Cameron's novels remain quite fresh and readable, not only because they are fast-paced but also because the major characters are full drawn and believable . . The surprising note for the period, and for the white-collar, upper-middle class milieu Disney favors, is that the women of the novels, in spite of hats, hats, gloves, dresses, and apparently conventional attitudes, are liberated. Her females are actresses, doctors, successful businesswomen, civil servants - and villains.' - Neysa Chouteau, Martha Alderson, Twentieth-Century Crime and Mystery Writers. -- References: Reilly, 'Twentieth-Century Crime and Mystery Writers' (1980), 491. -- Octavo (book size 21x14.5cm), pp. [8] 293 [3]. In publisher's blue lacquer coated spine, and beige buckram covered boars, spine lettered and decorated in silver, upper board blocked iwth circular device in blue, top edge tinted blue, other trimmed. Dust jacket without price (but not price-clipped) as issued. --.
