Reviews
I always thought them rather better than 'Miss Marple' and certainly very well written.
Miss Wentworth's plot is ingenious, her characterization acute, her solution satisfying
Miss Silver has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot
You can't go wrong with Miss Maud Silver.
Miss Wentworth is a first-rate storyteller
