Penguin 1st Edition, published 1953.
It’s seven in the morning. The Bantrys wake to find the body of a young woman in their library. She is wearing evening dress and heavy make-up, which is now smeared across her cheeks. But who is she? How did she get there? And what is the connection with another dead girl, whose charred remains are later discovered in an abandoned quarry? The respectable Bantrys invite Miss Marple to solve the mystery… before tongues start to wag.
Condition grading: Fair. Some foxing to both covers. Wear to spine ends and edges. Some wear to cover edges. Loss to top right corner of front cover. Pencil name to first inside page. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
