The source was PG. I have included the original illustrations and cover.

I've just realised that mtravellerh has also uploaded this book.
I wouldn't have bothered with the conversion had I noticed his version. However, we've made some different formatting choices.
His version has straight quotations and spaces between emdashes. Mine has curly quotations and no spaces between dashes.

Don't sweat it, dear. Your version is way better than mine. I guess I was still heavily in the learning phase when doing that book. Anyway, it IS a nice mystery novel.

Would you mind if I made an epub version of this version and uploaded it here?

No, not at all. You do it, mtravellerh.
