I found this rather battered specimen in the (where else?) Green Shed:
All that was left of the garage was a heap of charred and smouldering beams. In the driving seat of the burnt-out car were the remains of a body.
An accident, said the police.
An accident said the widow. She had been warning her husband about the dangers of the car for months.
Murder, said Lord Peter Wimsey . . . and proceeded to track down the killers.
In spite of the book's shabbiness, this cover really demonstrates how perspective and a limited palette can be used to create a dramatic image!
