The murder of a woman in the gazebo casts suspicion on her daughter and fiancee, but Miss Maud Silver comes to the rescue. Ex-library with a scuff on the jacket spine, stamps to the end papers and upper edge of the text block, and a pocket and stamp pad in the back. Gently bumped and rubbed, binding square and solid, with a few spots of black along the upper and lower edge of the boards - likely from an old, edged protector. Jacket crimped with a touch of wear at the edges, a 2" tear across the spine at the sticker scuff, and creases to the rear flap, in new Brodart.
