What Our Customers Say...

Description

Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The third impression, published in 1947. The first impression was published in 1945.

In the original unclipped dust wrapper.

'Death Comes as the End' is a unique mystery novel set in Thebes in 2000 BC, one of Christie's only historical mystery novels that's not set in Europe.

This novel is also notable as it was the first full-length novel that combined the whodunit story with historical fiction.

Written by the queen of crime fiction, Agatha Christie.

Bookplate to the front paste down, prior owner's ink inscription to the recto of the front endpaper.

Condition
