"Ordeal by Innocence," published by The Crime Club (Collins) in 1958, highlights Agatha Christie’s skill in crafting intricate standalone mysteries. This fine first edition, free of previous owner’s inscriptions or marks, boasts contents unmarred by foxing and fine, unmarked covers with no bumping. The bright, very fine dust jacket, unclipped, shows no tears, nicks, creasing, or fading to the spine, preserving its vivid design. A stellar example of Christie’s mid-century work, this volume captures the suspense and depth of 1950s crime fiction, offering collectors a superbly preserved piece of her enduring legacy.
