Format:Library Binding
This has all the ingredients for a great Miss Silver mystery. Nightmarish beginning with a woman lost in the fog overhearing a sinister plot, she then goes to stay with her estranged family who live in a creepy house. Perfect for hiding a few bodies in or for trapping the heroine as she uncovers the truth. Unfortunately there is something rather tired about it as if Wentworth lost interest in the plot. The climax doesn't even take place in the creepy house. No bodies are found in it nor heroine trapped in it. This isn't one of Wentworth's best mysteries.

A Wentworth Noir Story
22 Mar 2005
Format:Paperback
This is the first of the lengthy Miss Silver series that is an actual noir novel. In it we have a femme fatale, a dodgy Scotsman, and a very old manor house that has a terrible curse. This is an exciting little story, and I really enjoyed it, even though I had figured out who the killer was right away. The things that I didn't figure out came out as the plot developed, and they were interesting and varied enough to keep my interest. There is darkness and danger here, and the heroine is very appealing. This is a pretty good little story.
