"The young adventurers we called ourselves. Doesn't seem real now, does it?" Agatha Christie's Postern of Fate
First edition of Christie's final novel. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Margaret Murray. From the collection of Dr. John Talbot Gernon.
"Now in their seventies, the Beresfords, that amateur detective couple of hers whom some of us found too sprightly for comfort, have acquired a Proustian complexity. A code message in an Edwardian children's book puts them on to the murder of a governess involved in a pre-1914 German spy case. Past and present go on interlocking impressively. Despite political naivety; this is a genuine tour de force with a star part for Hannibal, the Manchester Terrier" (The Observer).
