The Pilgrim of Hate
Hi! I've just edited the text of The Pilgrim of Hate, and I thought you might appreciate a heads-up as to why.

For one thing, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as such we give full information about the topics we cover. We don't hide spoilers, we don't ever caution readers about spoilers, and we don't give half the plot with a teaser about the second half. An article about a book, mystery or not, should describe the plot from beginning to end including the climax, any plot twists, and the denouement.

The guidelines are Spoiler and No disclaimers in articles.

We try to assume that readers are reasonable, intelligent, competent adults who are intelligent enough not to need to be warned that an encyclopedia article about a novel might contain plot points.

Another thing: many of the names in this were misspelled in a way that makes me think that the publisher of the edition you're working from is at fault. I've restored the spellings that Peters herself used (I'm working from a first edition).
