CLASSIC GOLDEN AGE MYSTERY PERFECT FOR FANS OF AGATHA CHRISTIE Miss
Silver must unravel a tangled web of marriage, mystery and murder
'Ranks with the best of the golden-age detectives' Daily Mail No
one has seen Allegra Trent since she got married. Her husband swept
her off her feet and out of London, to a faraway town called
Bleake. She has stopped writing letters, and her family has begun
to worry. Allegra's husband is a strange man. He is consumed with
his dream of owning the ramshackle estate curiously known as
Ladies' Bane, and he intends to use his new wife's money to do it.
Why he wants to live there no one knows, but Josepha Bowden does
not want his castle to become her goddaughter's prison. She asks
the help of Maud Silver, the former governess who now makes a
living using her reason to unravel the intricacies of murder. There
has been no killing in Bleake, but if Miss Silver doesn't intervene
quickly, there could be one soon. 'A first-rate storyteller' Daily
Telegraph 'You can't go wrong with Miss Maud Silver' Observer 'Miss
Silver is marvellous' Daily Mail 'Better than Miss Marple' Mary
Stewart 'A particular favourite' Andrew Taylor 'Miss Wentworth's
plot is ingenious, her characterization acute, her solution
satisfying' Scotsman 'Miss Silver has her place in detective
fiction as surely as Lord Peter Wimsey or Hercule Poirot'
