Description
Patricia Wentworth’s Miss Silver Series continues with The Brading Collection , Through the Wall , and The Ivory Dagger , each weaving elegant puzzles of crime and conscience around Miss Maud Silver’s serene intelligence. In The Brading Collection, a priceless art collection becomes the center of greed, deception, and murder when its eccentric owner dies under suspicious circumstances. Miss Silver’s insight into family tensions and human vanity exposes the truth behind the polished veneer of respectability. Through the Wall unfolds in a London apartment building where jealousy and secrecy lead to murder. Miss Silver, visiting a friend, overhears the arguments “through the wall” and uses her patient observation to unmask a killer driven by passion and pride. In The Ivory Dagger, a young bride’s engagement is shattered by deceit and sudden death, and Miss Silver’s quiet compassion helps unravel a web of emotional manipulation and revenge. Across these novels, Wentworth balances domestic warmth with psychological depth, showing how love, greed, and guilt intertwine. Miss Silver—ever courteous, knitting in hand—serves as both moral compass and detective, restoring truth and order with empathy and unwavering intellect.
