Book Condition & Notes
A very good first edition in the original binding. There is a crease to the front flyleaf, and a smaller crease to the half title page. Some minor push-in to the top and bottom of spine. In a good unclipped dust jacket, with chipping to the spine and wear to the corners. The top rear corner has a small tear, and there are two small tears to the top of the back cover. There is also a small red stain near the bottom of the rear cover.
About the book
The matchless detective and psychoanalyst Mrs Bradley is visiting the picturesque village of Spey in search of a local witch when Gerald Conway, a junior master at Spey College, is found murdered. Despised by both pupils and peers, there is no shortage of suspects but can the redoubtable Mrs Bradley use tact, wit and just a touch of black magic to make the boys and their masters divulge the truth?

About the Author
Gladys Mitchell
For many years, Gladys MItchell taught History and English, swimming and games. She retired from this work in 1950, but became so bored withour the constant stimulus and irritation of teaching that she accepted a post at a school in Staines, where she taught English and History, wrote the annual school play, and coached hurdling.
Her first crime novel featuring Mrs. Bradley was published in 1929, when Gladys Mitchell was 28. Gladys went on to be published until 1983 when she died. She wrote 65 Mrs. Bradley novels, a number of children’s books and several books under the pseudonyms Malcolm Torrie and Stephen Hookaby.
