by Julian Symons

(London): Published for The Crime Club by Collins, (1967).

First edition, first printing.

A mystery spiced with parody and humor, involving a matrimonial agency, a domineering wife that a bungling meek husband wishes to murder, a dashing Major the meek man enlists to aid in his potential crime, plenty of plot twists and turns--and a surprise ending.

Highly praised and reviewed by Stanley Ellin.

Faded to the lower end and with a one inch and a two-inch long narrow dark-red stain on the front cover, else very good, firm and square in red linen boards with black titles to the spine; in a rubbed very good dust jacket with some very short shelf-edge tears and rubbed crimps, and with short tears, nicks and rub-wear to the upper and lower spine ends; original 9s. 6d. net printed price still intact to the front inner flap.
