3.0 out of 5 stars Lipreading can be dangerous, if you "overhear" two criminals, 11 April 2002
By A Customer
Patricia Wentworth writes gentle mystery stories, based on her private detective, Miss Silver. Unlike Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Miss Silver is a professional - albeit an unlikely one. As an ex-governess, she understands people, and they seem to confide in her. As luck would have it, a Scotland Yard detective was one of her pupils when she reigned over the schoolroom, and when they meet on a case, she usually manages to solve the mystery! Her books are set in or just after World War 2, and the incidental details in the books reflect the way life was then.

In this book, Miss Silver is called in by a Miss Paine, who has "overheard" a conversation between two men in an art gallery. They had thought that they were far enough away not to be overheard - they did not realise that Miss Paine was stone deaf, but could lip read perfectly. When she finds out that the gallery attendant has inadvertently told them this, she is concerned enough to involve Miss Silver - and when she is the victim of a "hit and run" accident, it begins to look as if she was right to be worried.

If you enjoy modern mystery stories that provide graphic descriptions of blood and gore, Patricia Wentworth's books will not be for you. If, on the other hand, you enjoy classic mysteries with well-drawn characters, and maybe just a hint of the darker side of life, then I recommend that you give her a try.
