Governess-turned-sleuth Miss Silver unravels a tangled web of
marriage, mystery, and murder in the English countryside No one has
seen Allegra Trent since she got married. Her husband, Geoffrey,
swept her off her feet and out of London to a faraway town called
Bleake, consumed with the dream of owning a ramshackle medieval
estate known as "Ladies' Bane." Why he's so determined to live
there no one knows, but Allegra postpones visits from family again
and again, and then stops writing letters at all. Her family has
begun to worry when suddenly her sister, Ione, finds herself not
merely invited but positively urged to come. At first, Ione is
puzzled, but upon her arrival she suspects that ominous forces are
at work in the house. Then an unexpected death occurs, and her
worst suspicions are confirmed. Miss Silver might appear harmless,
but the former governess knows her way around a murder. As a
private investigator, she's solved many cases among London's upper
class and has earned "her place in detective fiction as surely as
Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot" (Manchester Evening News).
