Nothing much ever seemed to happen in the sleepy village of Hazel Green apart from the occasional tea-party, spiced with local gossip. Until Maggie Bell went out one evening for a breath of fresh air and never came back.

Could Maggie’s disappearance be linked to security leaks at the nearby Air Ministry? Or is a sinister scheme being hatched closer to home? Miss Silver is called in to solve the mystery just as a second person goes missing . . .

Reviews

Praise for Patricia Wentworth:
Andrew Taylor
I like Wentworth very much - she captures the mores of pre-war middle class England perfectly, and she writes rather better than Christie. They are romantic cosies, of course, but with an edge to them and an intelligence to the writing that has lasted.
<i>Daily Mail</i>
Miss Silver is marvellous
<i>Observer</i>
You can't go wrong with Miss Maud Silver.
<i>Manchester Evening News</i>
Miss Silver has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot
<i>Daily Telegraph</i>
Miss Wentworth is a first-rate storyteller
Paula Gosling
Patricia Wentworth has created a great detective in Miss Silver, the little old lady who nobody notices, but who in turn notices everything
