Absent In The Spring
1944 (First Edition).
Collins
, London, England
This is Agatha Christie's third book (of six) published under the Westmacott pseudonym. This was published in August 1944, the American edition following later the same year. For Agatha Christie devotees, but a fine story in its own right anyway . Very scarce worldwide particularly in this very good or better condition.
