First edition of this classic work of detective fiction, the first of Christie’s novels to feature Hercule Poirot’s secretary, Felicity Lemon. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. From the collection of Dr. John Talbot Gernon.
First published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club in 1955, Hickory Dickory Dock follows Christie's longest-running character, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot's investigation into a case of petty theft, and subsequent murder, at a student hostel. "Exciting, entirely credible, and often highly ingenious. This is Agatha Christie in an unaccustomed mood, but as sure in her handling of character and situation - and our attention - as she ever was" (Queen). “When it comes to fiendish plotting, there’s nobody to compare with Agatha Christie” (Peter Robinson, New York Times).
