It is, of course, a matter of opinion, but Pocket paperbacks of the 1940's and 50's often don't measure up against rival books of the day by Avon or Popular with their lurid covers or the highly-stylized and mostly airbrushed Dell mapback masterpieces. This mystery thriller by Agatha Christie, however, is a wonderful exception. Pocket Books No. 341 - The Body In The Library by Agatha Christie, 1945.
