Hangman's Holiday Tapa dura - 1979

Book 9 of 15: The Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries. Large Print. Ex-library book has usual markings, stamps, stickers, writing, card holder. DJ has very little bumping, rubbing, fading on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer page edges with tanning, browning, stains and foxing. First few fly leaf pages are missing. Twelve mysteries around the 20's and 30's England, each stands alone but has a common feel. Amusing and absolutely appalling things happen on the way to the gallows when murder meets Lord Peter Wimsey and the delightful working-class sleuth Montague Egg. This sumptuous feast of criminal doings and undoings includes a vintage double identity and a horrid incident concerning felines that will tease the minds of cat-lovers everywhere. Not to be missed are “The Incredible Elopement of Lord Peter Wimsey” (with a lovely woman in *deep* trouble) and nine more puzzlers penned in inimitable style by the mistress of murder. U5.
