When the relatives of Jeremiah Taverner are invited to spend the weekend at his historic inn, they're intrigued--and eager to get the promised financial reward. Eventually, Miss Silver is sent to investigate when Scotland Yard suspects drug dealing from the crime-ridden inn. Narrator Diana Bishop enlivens this classic Wentworth mystery. She perfectly captures the diverse accents of the family, servants, police, and, of course, Miss Silver. Additionally, an excellent portrayal of a woman who is being bullied by her ³invalid² husband brings humor to the dark doings at the inn. This charming and baffling mystery from 1951 still appeals today. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine--

Review
"* 'You can't go wrong with Maud Silver' - Observer * 'Miss Wentworth is a first-rate storyteller' - Daily Telegraph * 'Miss Silver is marvellous' - Daily Mail * 'I like Wentworth very much - she captures the mores of pre-war middle class England perfectly, and she writes rather better than Christie. They are romantic cosies, of course, but with an edge to them and an intelligence to the writing that has lasted.' - Andrew Taylor * 'I always thought them rather better than 'Miss Marple' and certainly very well written.' - Mary Stewart * 'Miss Silver has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot' - Manchester Evening News * '... some of the best examples of the British country-house murder mystery' - Alfred Hitchcock Magazine"
