Описание:
On vacation in a tiny village, Miss Silver investigates a murder with a decades-old motive
The citizens of Melling are perfectly ordinary--exactly the sort one finds in just about every cozy English village--and to a certain person they might even appear boring. But to Miss Silver, people are always interesting. It has been some years since she gave up work as a governess to become a detective, and her interest in people has served her well. She comes to Melling on vacation--a long postponed visit to an old school chum--but Miss Silver's business is murder, and her vacations never last long.
The town's prodigal son has returned, wealthy and without nostalgia for the village of his birth. He intends to sell his manor house and be done with Melling forever. But Melling has not finished with him.

Patricia Wentworth (1878-1961) was one of the masters of classic English mystery writing. Born in India as Dora Amy Elles, she began writing after the death of her first husband, publishing her first novel in 1910. In the 1920s, she introduced the character who would make her famous: Miss Maud Silver, the former governess whose stout figure, fondness for Tennyson, and passion for knitting served to disguise a keen intellect. Along with Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Miss Silver is the definitive embodiment of the English style of cozy mysteries.

Описание:
Miss Maud Silver, governess-turned-sleuth, follows a trail of poison-pen letters to save an heiress from a murderer.
The plate over the bell at London's Montague Mansions reads "Miss Silver, Private Enquiries." Despite having an appointment, Rachel Treherne hesitates. Even as a young woman, Rachel always had a steady head on her shoulders; it's why her late father, Rollo Treherne, named her the sole trustee of his considerable fortune. So Rachel fears she may be overreacting to the anonymous letters she's received threatening her life.
After he struck oil in America, Rollo Treherne became a very rich man, but he never forgot the poverty he knew as a child. In his will, he entrusted his younger daughter with the task of ensuring his vast wealth would benefit only worthy causes--and worthy people. The decision galled a number of Rachel's relatives, including her married older sister, her socialist nephew, and her father's ambitious young cousin.
And someone did, after all, tamper with the chocolates Rachel bought herself as a special treat. If Rachel's spinster cousin hadn't partaken first and noticed an unwholesome taste, who knows what may have happened? As Miss Silver listens to her client's tale, the retired-governess-turned-private-detective suspects that someone in Rachel's inner circle has grown tired of being a poor relation.
Miss Silver travels incognito to the Treherne country home to unmask the culprit--before it's too late--in this intriguing entry in the beloved series featuring a contemporary of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.
Lonesome Road is the 3rd book in the Miss Silver Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Описание:
When trouble starts at a newly inherited estate, Miss Silver must intervene
Uncle Martin always had a dark sense of humor. Trapped for years in his manor taking care of relatives he despised, he looked forward to the day when, dead and buried, he would no longer have to concern himself with them. As a last joke, he willed his entire fortune away to a poor relation, and went to his grave a smiling man.
After years of toil, Marion Brand is shocked to learn that her unknown uncle has left her with an estate. Now she will no longer have to break her back to care for her layabout sister; she can finally be happy. But her attempt to take charge of the estate quickly becomes messy. When a body turns up, it is only the steel-trap mind of Maud Silver that can sort out the family strife.

Описание:
In this classic British mystery, a revised will, a troubled upper-class marriage, and a witness who may be mad are keys to a seemingly solved murder case.
Marion Grey is growing used to the idea that her husband will never leave prison. After the horrors of a very public trial she is almost able to find relief in her resignation. But when new evidence suggests her husband may be innocent after all, she hires a professional--Miss Silver--to clear his name.
It begins with a chance encounter on a busy train, when a friend of Marion's meets a half-mad woman who claims to know something of the Grey case. With her is a man who disappeared during the trial, and may know something that could see Marion's husband set free. Who is he, and where has he gone? To find out, the demure detective Miss Silver must track him down before becoming a victim herself.
In a series that's a delightful blend of Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie, retired schoolteacher and sleuth Miss Silver "has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot" (Manchester Evening News).

Описание:
Miss Silver investigates an unhappy family whose brightest beauty has just been poisoned
Lois has always dreamed of being a Latter. The Latter brothers are both so attractive--nearly as handsome as their stately manor, Latter End. After she spoils her relationship with one brother, she succeeds with the other, winning his heart with her good looks and the sizeable fortune she had won in her first marriage. But even after they've wed, she never quite fits in with the family. Still, she hardly expects them to kill her.
But that's just what the psychic Memnon warns her of: poison. She laughs it off and so does everyone else, but then, like clockwork, she is dead. The police call it murder. The weapon? Poison, of course. It is a tantalizing case, complicated by the bitterness that infests Latter End, and only the brilliant Maud Silver, once a governess, now a detective, is up to the challenge.

Описание: Miss Silver must contend with a vanishing corpse when murder rocks the postwar English countryside in this classic mystery perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. Det. Sgt. Frank Abbot of Scotland Yard thought he'd spend a quiet holiday at his family's estate near the quaint village of Deeping. Instead, he got intrigue and wild tales of a man dragging a horribly murdered girl into the woods. Naturally, he calls his friend, private detective Miss Maud Silver, to take a look. But the case takes a puzzling turn when no one can locate the body of the rumored victim, and the only witness suffers a broken neck. One thing is certain, however: The pastoral peace of this town masks something far more sinister. Miss Silver, a retired schoolteacher with a fondness for knitting and reading Tennyson who has found a new career as a private enquiry agent, "has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot" (Manchester Evening News).
