Taken at the Flood (US: There Is a Tide...)

Agatha Christie · Dodd, Mead and Company (US) — true first; William Collins Crime Club (UK) followed · 1948

The US Dodd, Mead edition (There Is a Tide..., March 1948) precedes the UK Collins edition (November 1948) by roughly eight months, so the US printing is the true first, not the UK edition as originally recorded.
