Without Miss Silver's help, the new bride may be about to meet a similar fate 'Ranks with the best of the golden-age detectives' Daily Mail Maud Silver, demure private eye, is on a train to London when a young woman in a state of shock bursts into her compartment. She is Lisle Jerningham, a newlywed with a fortune - which may be about to get her killed. Lisle explains that she fled her home in a hurry after overhearing a sinister conversation. Her new husband's first wife died in an apparent accident, and the resultant infusion of cash saved his family home. Now, he's broke again - and she fears he is attempting to engineer a second convenient mishap. Whether the widower is bent on a second murder or his young wife is being paranoid, no one is clear. But if Lisle is in danger, it is up to Miss Silver to find out. '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' Manchester Evening News

Whatever his faults may have been, there was little to complain of in the personal appearance Of Peter. He was not more than common tall, but he was well put together. The way his head was placed upon his firm neck, above his square shoulders -the set of his flat, well-modelled ears gave you satisfaction as you gazed. Perhaps his nose was too long, and a little too Sharp. His mouth could look Very hard, and his lips were too thin. But his eyes, which were of that dark grey which is not at all blue but carries a hint of purple, were doubtless prepossessing. His smile was charming, his teeth were good, his dun-coloured hair had a strong tendency to curl. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
