Review

Praise for Patricia Wentworth: 'Miss Silver is marvelous' -- Daily Mail 'You can't go wrong with Miss Maud Silver' -- Observer 'Miss Wentworth is a first-rate storyteller' -- Daily Telegraph 'Miss Wentworth's plot is ingenious, her characterization acute, her solution satisfying' -- Scotsman 'I always thought them rather better than 'Miss Marple' and certainly very well written.' -- Mary Stewart


Product Description

When he was 21 James Lessiter told Henrietta Cray that he loved her before all things and so broke Catherine Lee's heart. But James has a side to him that most people do not see. When the engagement is broken off noone is sure why and Rietta refuses to explain. Twenty years later James returns to the village an extremely wealthy man. Rietta is still unmarried and Catherine is a penniless widow living in a cottage on the Lessiter estate. Trouble is inevitable, for Catherine has started to sell some of the valuable contents of the cottage to keep up a lifestyle she cannot afford but James has his suspicions and is looking forward to exposing her. He has always enjoyed seeing someone else suffer whatever the cost. When he is brutally murdered there all too many people who would benefit from his death but fortunately Miss Silver is ready to investigate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Like a Cozy Village Homicide, Jan 27 2004
By Sires (It's a Toss Up Right Now) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Silver Comes To Stay (Paperback)
Inviting Miss Silver for a visit seems tantemount to requesting a murder. In this post WW II story, a quiet English village is thrown into a tizzy when the local grande dame dies and her son returns to arrange her affairs. There is also a plethora of people who have a reason for wanting to see him dead.

Miss Silver in a happy coincidence is visiting an old school chum in the same village; therefore, she is near at hand to use her skills for ferreting out the truth, when a murder does occur.

Published not long after the end of WW II, Ms. Wentworth does a better than average job in this particular mystery. Her starcrossed couples are nicely drawn and the mystery is not badly set up.
