Internally sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic work of British detective fiction, Malice in Wonderland by Nicholas Blake — the pen name of poet Cecil Day-Lewis — presents a delightfully sinister mystery set against the backdrop of a cheerful English holiday camp. The novel chronicles a series of increasingly malicious pranks that begin to terrorize the vacationing guests, with the mischief soon escalating into something far darker and more deadly. Blake's series detective, the witty and erudite Nigel Strangeways, is drawn into the investigation, applying his sharp intellect to uncover the twisted mind behind the chaos. Written with the elegant, literate wit that defines Golden Age crime fiction, the narrative balances a sunny, almost farcical setting against a genuinely suspenseful undercurrent of menace. Fans of Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr will find in Blake a master of atmosphere and puzzle-craft at the height of his powers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887949689051,"sku":"2026100005009-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6d256300-5610-45f5-8b30-b81136a167ea.png?v=1781750360","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100005009-secondhand-malice-in-wonderland","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
