Product Description
Leys Physical Training College was famous for its excellent discipline and Miss Lucy Pym was pleased and flattered to be invited to give a psychology lecture there. But she had to admit that the health and vibrant beauty of the students made her feel just a little inadequate. Then there was a nasty accident -- and suddenly Miss Pym was forced to apply her agile intellect to the unpleasant fact that among all those impressively healthy bodies someone had a very sick mind…

Mysterious Ending,
By
This review is from: Miss Pym Disposes (Paperback)
I think the ending lacks closure but it makes you want to go back and reread the parts where Miss Pym speaks to Mary Innes after showing her the pin. I thought that the last few lines of the book were horrible but I liked the way the story ended with Miss Pym finding out just at the last moment who could have done it. The book gets four stars because it has a good solid plot. Overall, I liked it.

Thoroughly engrossing.,

This review is from: Miss Pym Disposes (Paperback)
Not really a member of the mystery genre, Miss Pym Disposes nevertheless keeps you fascinated. Her characters are complete and rich, and her setting descriptions create a true mental ambience. I agree with the previous reviewer who said the ending was a little weak. But I would have loved to know more about Miss Pym and Alan, wouldn't you?
4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting, well worth reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miss Pym Disposes (Paperback)
I first read "Brat Farrar" when I was about 14 years of age. Over the 20 years since then I have read all of Josephine Tey's other books, most recently, "Miss Pym Disposes".If you have not read her other works, my advice is not to start with this one. Having said that, it is well worth reading. Her ability to create exactly the right atmosphere is amazing, definitely one of those "I cant put this down until I finish it" experiences. However, to my mind, the ending is just "wrong" - I cant say more than that without giving it away - hence the four stars instead of five.
