Item description from seller

"DEATH BOARDS THE 'LAZY LADY'" by Ruth Darby with its original dust jacket. 1939 1st edition (stated); Published for "The Crime Club" by Doubleday, Doran & Company; New York. The book is a mystery novel, and the first in a series featuring the detective duo Peter Barron and Janet Allen. The story begins when a luxury yacht named the Lazy Lady sets sail from New York for a cruise into Southern waters. The ship is owned by Peter Barron, a wealthy Wall Street man. He fills the guest list with an eclectic, self-important group of celebrities from the stage and screen. Tension quickly builds on board due to interpersonal drama. Among the passengers are two rival women vying for Peter Barron's affections—one at the peak of her beauty and fame, and another whose star is starting to wane. The entire voyage is narrated by Janet Allen, Barron's sharp-witted secretary. By the time the yacht docks at St. Thomas in the Caribbean, the leisurely cruise has turned into a crime scene as two passengers have died. The book established a classic "closed-circle" drawing-room style mystery on the high seas, which Darby continued in several sequels where Peter and Janet (who later marry) solve high-society crimes. Condition: Mottling to the cloth along the right edge of the front cover, and at the top-right and bottom-right corners of the back cover. Sharp cover corners. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Both covers are firmly attached. The text pages are clean and appear unread with no notable issues found. Tanning to the end papers and pastedowns. Overall the book is in Very Good condition. The dust jacket is un-clipped with the price intact on the front flap; chipping to the top/bottom edges of the spine, and at the flap corners; tear at the top edge of the back cover.overall the jacket is in Good+ condition. (The dust jacket comes with a clear, protective sleeve - not shown.).
