Evidence of Things Seen
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1951.
In the sticky summer of 1943, a secluded cottage in the Berkshires sounds just the ticket to the newly married Clara Gamadge. The resident ghost, a slender woman in a sunbonnet who died just one year ago in the cottage Clara is now renting, merely adds to the local colour. It’s all nothing more than a spooky game, until the woman’s sister is strangled while Clara sits in a chair by her bed. The only clue: Clara’s panicked memory of a woman in a sunbonnet standing at the door. Happily, Henry Gamadge arrives in time to calm his wife and solve the mystery.
Condition grading: Good. Minor creasing to spine with minor wear to ends. Some foxing to both covers. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
