Halloween Party Agatha Christie Fontana First Edition in Paperback Vintage Crime Book

Kitty's Notes:

If collecting Agatha Christie books is your thing these Fontana editions from the 1970's when found in very good condition like this one, make a great addition to your shelf of collectible Agatha Christie Classic Crime novels.

Of all the Tom Adams' cover designs I would say this is my favourite with the Snow White-esque gleaming poison apple morphed into a sinister skull design and the girl in the background with such a great 1970's face she almost looks like Twiggy.

An iconic paperback and extra nice that this is the first time this great Agatha Christie Murder Mystery appeared in paperback back in 1972.

Book Excerpt from " Hallowe'en Party":

" 'What happened?' said Poirot. His voice was sharp.
'We found her dead in the end - in the library,' said Mrs. Oliver. 'Someone, you know, someone had shoved her head down into the water with the apples. Shoved her down and held her there so that she was dead, of course. Drowned. Drowned. Just in a galvanised iron bucket nearly full of water. Kneeling there, sticking her head down to bob at an apple. I hate apples,' said Mrs. Oliver. 'I never want to see an apple again...' "

Poirot looked at her. He stretched out a hand and filled a small glass with cognac.

'Drink this, ' he said. 'It will do you good.'

Nice clean copy with a few minimal signs of wear considering its age for a paperback over half a century now still holding together well.

Pages heavily tanned, light freckled foxing to page edges, a couple of small ink stains to the outer edge of the text block.

The book has obvious signs of having been read before but overall very good.

Most importantly the spine is intact and good with titles visible with a light crease but not cracked.
