Till Death Do Us Part (John Tribe cover)

Condition: Good

Some wear to the outside of the spine (but no structural damage), the usual page tanning associated with books of its age, and a small inscription denoting a price on the first page.

"Crime author Dick Markham is in love again; his fiancée the mysterious newcomer to the village, Lesley Grant. When Grant accidentally shoots the fortune teller through the side of his tent at the local fair - following a very strange reaction to his predictions - Markham is reluctantly brought into a scheme to expose his betrothed as a suspected serial husband-poisoner.

That night the enigmatic fortune teller - and chief accuser - is found dead in an impossible locked-room setup, casting suspicion onto Grant and striking doubt into the heart of her lover. Lured by the scent of the impossible case, Dr Gideon Fell arrives from London to examine the perplexing evidence and match wits with a meticulous killer at large.

First published in 1944, Till Death Do Us Part remains a pacey and deeply satisfying impossible crime story, championed by Carr connoisseurs as one of the very best examples of his mystery writing talents."

This 1953 Penguin copy of John Dickson Carr's locked room classic features an unusual and collectible cover design by John Tribe. It's in good condition, with some wear to the outside of the spine (but no structural damage), the usual page tanning associated with books of its age, and a small inscription denoting the price on the first page.
