UNCORRECTED PROOF COPY, dated December 31st 1948 (the book itself came out in 1949). Original wrapper, rather chipped, binding skewed. Pp 243, followed by one-page publisher s advertisement. Spotlight was published in the US under the title Wicked Uncle. Proof copies of Miss Silver novels are rather rare this is internally unmarked, though a little worn externally. Miss Silver is sometimes regarded an inspiration for Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, but of course Wentworth was successful in her own right. Please note condition, but would make an interesting and unusual addition to any Wentworth collection.
