Publisher Description
Another case for Miss Silver - sock-knitting sleuth extraordinaire Adriana Ford, a former actress, has always enjoyed being the focus of attention. Until, that is, that focus seems to be centred on hastening her death. First she felt herself being pushed downstairs. Then there was the bowl of poisoned mushroom soup. When she found one of her tablets tampered with, it was the last straw. She approaches Miss Silver discreetly and is given some sound advice, which she chooses to ignore.
Then Adriana throws one of her celebrated parties and invites everybody she knows. It is only when one of her rather less successful friends is found murdered wearing her coat that Miss Silver is called in to investigate.
Customer Reviews
Classic Miss Silver
I enjoy reading this series because I like the time frame during which Wentworth wrote. I do read some contemporary mysteries and the occasional thriller, but I prefer the writers of the classic cozy style. You’ll probably know who did the murder/s and why, but that’s not the point for me. I like Miss Silver’s manners, modesty, and good common sense. Her knowledge of human nature always leads her to identify the culprit before the police can. She’s very reassuring in our difficult era.
