Miss Silver Comes to Stay

Rating:
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: 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.
