Description
Patricia Wentworth’s Miss Silver Series—beginning with Grey Mask , followed by The Case is Closed and Lonesome Road —introduces readers to one of classic detective fiction’s most beloved sleuths: Miss Maud Silver, a retired governess turned private investigator. In Grey Mask, Miss Silver makes her debut when Charles Moray returns from abroad to discover a criminal gang plotting murder—and his former fiancée entangled in it. Miss Silver’s calm intelligence and discreet methods unravel the conspiracy, establishing her as a shrewd observer of human behavior. In The Case is Closed, she helps a woman prove her cousin’s innocence in a murder case dismissed by everyone else, exposing family secrets and buried motives. Lonesome Road finds her protecting a young heiress threatened by an unknown enemy within her household, blending suspense with psychological insight. Across these first three novels, Miss Silver emerges as a figure of quiet authority—polite, knitting calmly while seeing through lies and fear. Wentworth combines genteel domestic settings with sharp mystery plotting, creating a world where justice, patience, and human understanding prevail.
