About this title

About the Author:

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

From AudioFile:

Patricia Wentworth wrote over seventy novels, but none more popular than her Miss Maud Silver series. In this one, Miss Silver, the owner of a private detective agency, is called upon to look into the attempted poisonings of Lois Latter, a selfish, bullying woman with many enemies. When Lois is actually murdered, everyone, including her husband, his extended family, and the household staff, is suspect. Diana Bishops voice captures the coolly professional Miss Silver as she knits her way through the investigation and unravels the complex motives of all involved. Bishop does creditable renderings of all the characters, especially Miss Silvers sometimes colleagues, Chief Constable Randal March and Chief Investigator Ernest Lamb. Her performance makes Wentworths cozy whodunit a worthwhile listen. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
