Seller's Description:
Pudim, Rob. As New. No Jacket. Trade Paperback 1st printing. A fine, unread copy of this Trade Paperback. An eccentric Brit's attempt to summon ancient Greek gods ends in murder most foul. Sir Rudri Hopkinson, a slightly cracked rich Englishmen with a penchant for history, is determined to reenact the ancient rituals at the temple of Eleusis in hopes of summoning the goddess Demeter. Among the thirteen people he's gathered for the experiment is a rival scholar, a handsome photographer, his adult children, and a trio of mischievous boys, whose nefarious activities are financed by criminal psychologist Beatrice Bradley. When one of their number goes missing and a severed head turns up in a box of snakes, it's time for Mrs. Bradley to set aside her babysitting chores and turn sleuth. First published in 1937, Come Away, Death is Mitchell at her best and shows why contemporary critics lumped her with Sayers and Christie as one ofthe "big three" of English women mystery writers. In addition to a tight plot, a fascinating locale, a short but informative history of minor Greek gods, and some well-drawn characters, Mitchell displays a delicious, almost Noel Cowardish wit.
In a nutshell, my review of this book would be: Nothing happens until page 232 and from then on the book is deadly dull. However, I would recommend it for those who enjoy superb writing, because as usual Gladys Mitchell's descriptive powers are substantial. The setting is among upperclass, educated Brits in Greece. The exact time period was unclear, I think it would have to be between the first and second world wars. Her description of the young boys is particularly good. Read for style, not for plot.
