Miss Silver Comes to Stay

Summary: Miss Silver to the rescue
Review: Funny how in small English villages, people's memory seem to be especially long and sharp. When the wealthy James Lessiter is murdered, there's no lack of suspects, including the girlfriend he dumped many years ago.

Greatly entertaining, with surprising plots and ending.

Summary: One of my favourite Miss Silver stories
Review: I've been reading and in some cases re-reading the Miss Silver series, and I must say that I enjoyed this one as much as any of them. It's classic Miss Silver - a little English village, an unpopular landowner, and a whole slew of possible murderers when that unpopular landowner gets murdered. It takes Miss Silver to unravel the plot (just as efficiently as she unravels her wool). There are lots of twists and turns and a few red herrings thrown in. Pretty good stuff!

Summary: Nothing Like a Cozy Village Homicide
Review: 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.
