Death and the Maiden by Gladys Mitchell - Very Good Condition

A book in very good condition,  no turned downed corners on pages as I always use a bookmark.   I bought this book brand new and therefore the only reader,

A Mrs Bradley mystery who was portrayed by Diana Rigg in the dramatization on tv but who bears no resemblance to the character in the book.

Miss Prissie Carmody has a full house. She was living quietly and happily with her ward, nineteen-year old Connie, in her South-west London flat when Prissie's second cousin appeared, his young wife in tow. Edris Tidson spent the war years as a banana grower on the Canary Islands, but now he and wife Crete are staying--perhaps permanently--with their frustrated but polite aunt. Connie, however, is quick to show her dislike of the invasion. One day, Edris reads in the newspaper a letter proclaiming the sighting of a naiad, or water-nymph, in the River Itchen. Excited by this whimsical account, Edris organizes a family excursion to Winchester (which Miss Carmody is to sponsor) in search of the nymph, even though no one shares his enthusiasm on this subject.

The book is 264 pages so can be sent large letter Royal Mail.
