Not To Be Taken

Condition: Fine

Read once. No creasing to spine. Very slight marking at the top of the back cover and bottom-right corner of the front cover.

"John Waterhouse has died of some gastric complication. Exhumed at his brother's request, it transpires that he has been killed by arsenical poisoning, though nobody in the sleepy village of Anneypenny seems to have had a reason to do him ill. Rumours abound of Nazi intrigue and military skullduggery, but whatever the motive, the truth remains; this was murder."

This 2025 British Library Crime Classics edition of Anthony Berkeley's classic poisoning mystery - which was originally serialised with a prize for any readers who could solve the mystery - has been read once and is in near-perfect condition.
