The Sittaford Mystery -
Agatha Christie
1931 - Published for The Crime Club Ltd. by W. Collins Sons & Co Ltd, London - First English Edition
An exquisitely bound first edition of this rare Christie first edition, one of the earliest Crime Club books by Collins.
‘In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a small table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: ‘Captain Trevelyan… dead… murder.’
Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snow drifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot’.
A bleak case, set in Christie's native Devon, against the rugged backdrop of Dartmoor in Winter with its looming menace, which adds, as in Doyle's 'The Hound of the Baskervilles', an extra personality and depth to the proceedings.
Named after the Sittaford 'Tor' (Celtic for rocky peak) where the author penned her first novel 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles'.
