Description
Patricia Wentworth’s Miss Silver Series continues with Pilgrim’s Rest , Latter End , and Wicked Uncle , each showcasing Miss Maud Silver’s unflappable intuition and deep understanding of human weakness. In Pilgrim’s Rest, a country estate is shadowed by fear after a series of mysterious “accidents” plague the Pilgrim family. When yet another death occurs, Miss Silver is called in to distinguish misfortune from murder. Her gentle manner and sharp reasoning expose a chilling motive rooted in envy and inheritance. Latter End follows a wealthy matriarch’s family torn apart by jealousy and deceit; when the matriarch is murdered, suspicion falls on several household members, and Miss Silver must untangle the lies born of greed and resentment. Wicked Uncle begins as a family reunion but quickly turns sinister when a charming yet predatory relative returns, bringing old scandals and new crimes to light. Across these stories, Wentworth blends domestic tension, moral conflict, and elegant mystery. Miss Silver’s serene presence—her knitting ever in hand—contrasts with the turmoil she observes, and her firm belief in justice and redemption guides her to the truth. These novels capture the classic English mystery at its most psychological and quietly suspenseful.
