Partners in Crime

Agatha Christie · Dodd, Mead and Company (US) / William Collins (UK, Crime Club) · 1929

The US Dodd, Mead edition (August 1929) precedes the UK Collins edition (16 September 1929) by about a month, so Dodd, Mead is the true first edition. This is one of several Christie titles of this period that appeared first in America. The original record's claim that UK Collins is the true first is incorrect.
