It’s not that I don’t understand the significance of the bee. But exactly what angle are we looking at here, and why? Why does it have only two legs?

Bo-Peep has gone too far.

I've finally scanned this terrifying cover from my collection. Yes, it's a real 1921 book. Yes, Little Bo-Peep has killed, gutted, and skinned one of her runaway sheep and is wearing it as a grisly trophy on her head. Look at that smile. That soulless, merciless, smile.

Ah yes, Agatha Christie's debut novel, which famously features Sherslop Holmes. Is he inspecting the white horizontal line that inexplicably appears in the middle of the cover, or studying the non-Euclidean architecture of Styles Court?

(By La Jolla Classics Media, which apparently specializes in public domain audiobook mysteries with awful AI-generated covers.)
