by Patricia Wentworth ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A
The quietly omniscient Miss Silver is right on the sidelines with her old pupil, Frank Abbott, when Sir Herbert is murdered just before his marriage to Lila. That Lila's ex-fiance has returned from America to learn he has been jilted: that Sir Herbert's secretary-mistress is seething: that a young relative is desperately in need of inheriting -- all are added up properly and primly. Back to the Purloined Letter for a pattern. Conservative.
