Customer Reviews

if you dont know Miss Silver already it's time you did
It is so great to see all these old Miss Silver novels back in print with such seductive new covers too, well done Hodder for finding these brilliant retro images. This is a classic from the 1940s with all kinds of wrong doings going on at an old house swathed in mist in the middle of the country. The characters are reliably written by Miss Wentworth and,as ever Miss Silver points the police in the right direction. This one has enough twists and turns and corpses to keep any mystery reader happy
