And, of course, it's not out on 'darknet'...  Well, yes it is. But every single copy out there ends at the same line - pages before the end of the book!
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
Why, oh why cannot the publishers release all the backlist books as ebooks, rather than 'all-but-one'???
Okay. I feel better now.

Totally agree, Derek.
I'm a big Agatha Christie fan. 56 out of her 80 novels have been released as HarperCollins eBooks, including 39 out of the 40 "Hercule Poirot" novels, but inevitably ONE is missing, and not an early one, either. Just seems to be a completely random book near the middle of the series. Very annoying, because, although the Poirot books can, of course, all be read as independent novels, they are also a series, with characters reappearing, and earlier events being referred back to in later books. Reading them "in order" is, therefore, recommended. I'll just have to buy the missing one as a paperback, which is irritating.
The "Miss Marple" series is the same (although a lot shorter, of course). One out of the 13 books is missing, seemingly at random.
