Condition Report Fine. A sharp, pristine copy in an equally bright, unclipped dust jacket. The binding remains exceptionally tight and square, showing no evidence of shelf-wear to the boards. The text block edges are crisp and unblemished, free from the age-toning and spotting that typically afflicts volumes of this era. Internally, the pages are clean and bright, and the jacket retains a glossy, unrubbed finish without any creasing or edge-tears, fully preserving the original publisher's price.
Catalogue Note This is the first world edition, published in Great Britain in 2001 by Severn House Publishers Ltd.
Severn House titles are renowned for their extraordinarily small print runs, heavily weighted toward institutional library distribution, making pristine, non-ex-library copies decidedly scarce on the open market. The volume retains its original, unclipped dust jacket.
In this Phyllida Moon mystery, the intrepid private investigator returns to Seaminster to untangle a complex web of deceit. Tasked by the Peter Piper Detective Agency with a deceptively simple investigation, Phyllida soon finds herself navigating a labyrinth of domestic secrets, rivalries, and potential murder, proving once again that in matters of the heart and the purse, there is truly no love lost.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
